Read an analysis of the study's findings. Chi Running reduces the risk of running injuries, and increases the chance that we can continue running into our 80s." In Chi Marathon, Danny Dreyer, creator of the revolutionary ChiRunning program, highly respected running coach, and accomplished distance runner, takes a whole-body approach to long-distance runningmuch like T’ai Chimaking ease and efficiency of movement the prime goal of one’s training. William Mullins at the Center for Rheumatic Diseases and Osteoporosis in Bethesda, Maryland, says, "Chi Running is a unique running style that causes less stress for lower-extremity joints and supporting structures than any other running technique. More: The Pros and Cons of Minimalist Runningĭr. Not only does the study show that changing the way you run makes a difference, but it also shows it can be learned. Impact is a primary cause of running injuries, so reducing impact greatly lowers your risk of injury. Chi Runners-regardless of shoe type-experienced a smoother landing, less stress to their knees and quads, and less braking force (from over-striding). A recent study proves what hundreds of thousands of Chi Runners have experienced firsthand-that you can improve your running technique in two significant ways.Ī new year-long study at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill shows that Chi Running produced less impact and higher efficiency when compared with three other common styles of running: those running with a heel strike in minimalist and traditional running shoes, and those running with a forefoot strike wearing minimalist shoes. By making slight adjustments to posture, footstrike, and redistributing the workload to other muscles besides our legs, it's possible to reduce impact, prevent injuries, and run with less effort. Since 1999, Chi Running's mission has been to help runners feel better.
