Be proactive, prevention is better than cure...

No matter what stage you are at running, begining or advanced, being proactive and researching ways to improve your running technique, is a good way to prevent or minimise injury, rather than waiting until injury occurs, resulting in the need for some form of medical treatment and rest. Unfortunately a lot of people learn the hard way, power running and pushing themselves into injury.

Be proactive and book yourself a place on a One Day Chi Running Workshop which will make your running so much more enjoyable, effortless and save money on medical treatment for injuries.
