I have completed my second Chi run and I can honestly say my knees feel great! I think I am using the proper technique. As soon as I find my posture slipping, I realign my gait by gently pressing my left fist into my navel while taking my right hand (thumb and pinky) and placing it just under my collarbone and gently pulling down. This technique keeps me in proper form.
I am incorporating Chi running with a beginner walk/run 1/2 marathon training schedule. I use the walking portion to check my Chi As I near the end time of my walking portion, I realign my posture (as described above) and I lean forward slightly and I'm off running again in proper stance.
The combination of Chi running paired with a run/walk training schedule seem like the perfect prescription for my recently recovered knee.

That is an interesting combination. I have been running for years and have suffered a few injuries. I am giving serious thought to Chi running.
