Performance Athletes

Chi Running brings the wisdom of the ancient martial art, T’ai Chi, to the performance athlete with techniques and training principles that get you physically and mentally aligned with success. Discover the zone where your body and mind work in perfect synchronicity, where speed comes from deep relaxation and an alert awareness, and where peak performance is measured in years, not by a single event.

Peak Performance

Today’s competitor knows that good technique is the foundation for success in every athletic endeavor, especially running, which is considered a high injury sport. Biomechanically correct running form increases speed and efficiency while reducing injuries and recovery time.

With Chi Running you’ll learn to become allies with two significant forces: the pull of gravity and the force of the road coming at you, and how to use them to your advantage while racing.

Race-specific training programs get your body appropriately conditioned and your mind ready and alert for whatever comes your way. You’ll  "rehearse" all the details of your event during your pre-race training period. This knowledge builds confidence and ensures that you run your best race possible.

Read more stories of some of the Chi Runners who have run faster with less effort than they ever imagined.

You’ll discover a speed that endures as you tap into the deep reserves of your core muscles and allow your legs to relax more at higher speeds. Whether you’re just off the bike in a triathlon, or at mile 18 of a marathon, or running the fastest 5K of your life, you’ll relish your newfound ease of running faster without fear of injury.

A ChiRunning Love Letter

I am 51 years old and always wanted to be a runner (even had recurring dreams about running), but I always walked so heavy that when I ran even for 3 minutes, I invariably got shin splints. My boss told me about Chi Running and I downloaded the book on to my Nook ...
