The ChiRunning/ChiWalking Community is packed with awesome people supporting and motivating each other. It's also a great place to ask questions and get valuable information on all things Chi!

I got the ChiRunning book, read it, watched the DVD, and have been running 3x/week for 3 weeks without feeling the normal aches I feel, and I'm even a bit faster! This is really neat! I also applied some of the theory to a recent hiking trip, and was able to hike 18 miles in 1 day without destroying my legs and feet. Just that little lean and picking up the feet make a huge difference.

I took a ChiRunning Workshop in Chicago. Within 4 weeks I dropped my half marathon time by 6 minutes. And then my marathon about 4 weeks after that I dropped 25 minutes.

I expected ChiRunning to make me fitter and faster, I didn't expect it'd make running more fun! Probably the biggest change, and the most unexpected change, has been the mental one. Running has become a form of meditation.

I love the feeling of belonging in a universe of great running and self-improvement, where everyone has a story that inspires everyone else.
