Chi Running Day 2

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.

Chi Running

I recently got the DVD Chi Running by Danny Dreyer. I have been running for about 15 years now and just recently developed knee pain, mostly in my right knee. I took the winter off from running to let my knee heal. I started running again about a month ago but I don't want to re injure my knee. I discovered Chi Running while searching for a Tai Chi DVD on the library website.

Does Chi Running really work? Does it take a long time to master? I decided to train for a half marathon which takes place on September 6, 2008. I would like to incorporate the Chi Running technique to minimize injuries. Does anyone have any experience they would like to share on this subject?
