Upright Running Versus ChiRunning

The following image by fellow ChiRunning Certified Instructor David Stretanski illustrates the difference between upright or what I call power running (as you need to use the power of your muscles to propel the body forward) versus ChiRunning which uses a controlled forward lean from the ankles to engage gravity which pulls the body forward, allowing the legs to remain to the rear co-operating with the force of the oncoming road.  Thanks to David for making it clearly visible and easy to distinguish the difference between the two. Which way are you running?
