Why Chi Training is Better
Performance
When most people use the words running and performance in the same sentence, images of speed and podium finishes come up. We think that’s a very limited use of the word, and we’re here to set the record straight and give “performance” some room to breathe.

Conditioning
Conditioning is all about toning your muscles and strengthening structurally weak areas in your body. When you run correctly you naturally strengthen the muscles that provide support while relaxing muscles no longer needed for propulsion.

Technique
ChiRunning is based in a centuries-old principle from T’ai Chi: shift your workload to the core muscles. This allows your leg muscles to do less, and the lower leg muscles to do almost nothing.
TechniqueWhat others are saying...
I have begun implementing some of the techniques of ChiRunning to my walking, and found it extremely beneficial. I have studied taiji and qigong on and off for years, particularly the Zhan Zhuang and Da Cheng Chuan styles.
Add more Chi to your life.
