I first started running distance in High School. Back then, we simply got out and ran with little awarness of postural alignment and the idea that energy effeciency meant keeping our arms still. We ran through pain and injury not realizing that many of our injuries were preventable.

20 years later I continue to run and I am able to run longer, more efficiently, and with far fewer injuries than when I was a teenager.

I began practicing ChiRunning in 2005 but it wasn’t until 2007 that it really clicked, after meeting Danny at the Georgia Marathon Expo. As a result of Danny’s tips and review, I had an amazing marathon experience. I knew that, as a triathlon coach who worked mostly with beginner and aspiring triathletes, that spreading the knowledge was a perfect fit. That night I registered for the instructor certification course in San Francisco and have been helping others learn to run with increased energy efficiency and reduced risk of injury since.
