I’m excited about my running too and filled with optimism for the coming year. I've had a great start to 2012 with no real setbacks since starting heart rate training in November and have continued to run more and more through Christmas and the New Year...

I have recently come back from Asheville, North Carolina, where I had the pleasure of spending 4 days with Danny Dreyer and 50+ Chi Running Instructors at our bi-annual instructor weekend.

Training has gone extremely well. Apart from illness in the early weeks and some drama over Christmas, training has been consistent since then. ...

In theory this is week 6 of half marathon training. As always seems to be the case when I try and train for a race, life events try to stop me. And so it has proved again. As mentioned in my last blog, early training came to a standstill when I got full blown flu ...

I had hoped to blog about the start of my half marathon training in a bit more of an upbeat note but I find myself in Week 2 completely knocked out by a virus. I am just beginning to claw my way back to life ...

As a runner, one of the things I look for in my own running is fluidity.  I want running to feel fluid, not just a series of lifts or swings or stances or whatever else I might have been working on while learning the Chi Running technique. Of course all of this is necessary in [...]
