My first 1/2 day ChiRunning® Workshop 2024 took place yesterday down at the Marina area of Cork city where we had a lots of laughs, plenty of fun and everyone made great progress practicing the running technique and here's just two of the reviews I received from participants....

"Honestly that was the best money I ever invested in myself, I have so much trouble with my knees which is detrimental to my endurance races. I actually can't believe how easy it is to run just by learning these techniques! I had so many 'OMG' moments throughout the day. From posture, what to do with my elbows, my cadence and hill training. 

I have never in my life reached the top of a hill and not gasped for breath! To have done that today without it taking a bit out of me was my jaw dropping moment. Ruth is a great coach and communicates in such a way that you easily absorb all the information coming at you. 

The venue/location was good and I would absolutely recommend.  If anyone wants to make their running lives easier, Ruth is your woman!"   Sent by Wella and my thanks to her as well for taking the selfie of the group 😀

And here's Aideen's experience...

“As someone who has fallen out of love with running after recurring injuries, Ruth’s class and patient, personalised approach has reinvigorated my appetite to get back to it and give it another go. My ‘aha’ moment was the need to ‘cooperate’ with the running forces – be that the road or hills. Running should not be about sore muscles and hard effort, it should feel more free and Chi running technique is the answer. The tips and techniques were disarmingly simple and so effective. I can’t wait to get started. Thanks Ruth!”.    Aideen. 

Many thanks to both Wella and Aideen for taking the time to send me these reviews, I'm delighted and happy that they enjoyed the workshop and learnt lots to help with your running technique.
