Product Description: More than 24 million people run in the United States alone, but 65 percent will have to stop at least once this year because of injury. Still others will choose to run through the pain. But in this groundbreaking book, ultramarathoner Danny Dreyer teaches us the running technique he created to heal and prevent injuries and also to run faster, farther, and with much less effort at any age.

ChiRunning employs the deep power reserves in the core muscles of the trunk, an approach that grows out of such disciplines as yoga, Pilates, and t'ai chi. This excellent step-by-step program offers training principles and is easily learned.

Customer Reviews

4 stars So far so good
The book is very informational. At the very least it helps you "connect" more with the sport, at the best it makes it easier to do and easier on your body.


5 stars Run Free- Injury Free!!
No need for a long review here. It's just a great book written by an ultramarathoner that will teach you running techniques that will prevent (or heal) your injuries. An easy to understand, step-by-step program don't be afraid to get it if you've been running 20 years or 20 days!

5 stars Pain Free
One reviewer wrote, "There is a lot of 'fluff' in this book to make it as long as it is," I totally agree, the book could be half as long, and still provide the great information on how to run pain free.

I've had knee pain for the past five years playing volleyball and running to stay in shape. I purchased this book per the reviews, followed the authors suggestions and WOW, I'm know pain free 95% of the time when I run or during moving activities. Your body tells you everything!


1 stars Disappointed
After reading the many positive reviews and endorsements for this book, I anticipated something more thorough and more polished. The book is highly repetitive (the same amount of material might easily have been covered in 40 pages), it lacks organization, the author invents words which have no meaning ("instate" as a verb, anyone?), and the typeset is HORRIBLE.

The author has some good ideas. Let's hear them.....coherently.


4 stars Chi Running
I haven't completely implemented Chi Running but am headed in the right direction. Book is well written and easy to follow. I am really enjoying the book and it's goal of making running easier.
