Jeanette Bays — Certified Instructor
As a lifelong runner, I have experienced running before ChiRunning and after ChiRunning and I can tell you there are HUGE differences!
After tearing a ligament in my ankle in 2005, which sidelined my running for almost 6 months, my goal was to NEVER be in the position again of not being able to run because of an injury. After my ankle healed completely, I entered the world of triathlons and have been loving the sport ever since. In 2007, when I decided to get into the longer distances, I knew that if my running didn’t improve, I’d be struggling to cross the finish line. I needed to become a much better, more efficient runner!
After I discovered ChiRunning, it fulfilled my two requirements, injury-free running and efficiency. PLUS, it gave me what I wasn’t expecting…running with much less effort, eliminated/drastically reduced recovery time and a new joy for running! With the powerful benefits of ChiRunning, I completed and enjoyed my biggest physical challenge in November 2010, an Ironman.
In the midst of learning and practicing this technique for my benefit, it became apparent very quickly that my passion was to share ChiRunning with others so that they could benefit from the technique the way I have. Whether you have never run and want to begin, or are currently a runner at any speed, you WILL benefit from this technique. Or, if you are like many runners, with occasional or chronic injuries, ChiRunning CAN make those injuries a thing of the past.
With a teaching and organizational design background, my goal is to teach you ChiRunning (or ChiWalking) in a simple, organized and easy to learn format. At the end of a workshop, private or semi-private lesson, you will have a clear understanding of the technique which you can immediately apply to your running and be on your way to enjoying efficient, injury-free and enjoyable running!
