Me & Danny Dreyer
The chi (pronounced 'chee') technique incorporates the movement principles from Tai Chi with running, creating a new approach to effortless and injury-free running. The key to this form of running is postural alignment and relaxation combined to create the best way to run faster, farther and injury free.

By using this technique you land midfoot strike, use a forward lean to engage gravity and use your core strength for propulsion as opposed to power running with your legs. This technique is holistic, making your running easier and safer.

Begin runners find running easier and more enjoyable, not a chore anymore. Experienced runners find increased speed and less recovery time, free from injuries. While injured runners start back running with information that will prevent injury recurrence.
