(no shin pain) I'm interested in buying that book, too....if just learning a few tips from it has helped, I can only imagine what reading the entire book will do for my form. Good luck!!!  |

I was going to go to Borders last night, and just felt too tired by the time I finished working out, cleaning up from dinner, blah blah.... But--it's on my agenda--I cannot WAIT to read this! Used the leaning forward technique again last evening during my run, and it worked so well again!! No shin pain--woohoo! Brenda...you're gonna love this new form of running! |

Elite Veteran 610 chicago area | Subject: RE: Just picked up Chi Running book... I've read the first few chapters and am just getting to the actual techniques now. Unfortunately I won't be able to use them until my hip feels better. Maybe in about another week or so. Too bad I didn't read this book BEFORE my last 5K race.... |

Well...at least there's a book out there to help you, now. Good luck with it! ps: Brenda--Does the book have a section on specific stretches to do before running?? I stretch, but sometimes feel like I'm not doing enough--or the right "type" of stretching. |

Expert 997 Littleton, CO | Subject: RE: Just picked up Chi Running book... I just received my copy of Chi Running in the mail today. You can buy it on half.com for MUCH cheaper than at the store, BTW. I have previously been incorporating some of the techniques and have found that my shins stopped hurting. Can't wait to learn more. I SUCK at running....like really suck. Previously, I wouldn't even run from a bear. Melanie |

| 18 | Subject: RE: Just picked up Chi Running book... I picked up this book a few weeks back. Still reading and trying to incorporate the basics. I have always been a very slow runner (have yet to break the 10 minute mile pace) and realized my cadence is pretty slow (70+). He suggests buying a metronome in the book (which I haven't done). I would be interested in reading "success stories" on before and after reading the book. I am not a seasoned runner with many injuries so I was more interested in staying injury free as I picked up more miles. And it would be nice to pick up speed too! |

Expert 782 Wandering through AZ | Subject: RE: Just picked up Chi Running book... Bought it last year when I was @11min/mi with a max distance of 5K. Today I'm up to an 8min/mi with a max distance of 10mi, and no injuries so far. (Not running related anyway. The bike's a different story.) Where it has helped me the most is where to focus my strength and what to watch out for in terms of bad form habits. My shins stopped hurting when I started running from the core, and it helped me fix my posture. Just this past week after the 10mi race my knees started to ache a little. I went back to some of the basics and it helped me notice that my feet are starting to pronate even though I've always been neutral. Without it I might have just thought that the knee probs were to be expected after longer mileage. Good luck with the hips. I like to do some yoga for that sort of thing. There are some great hip-openers... |
