Not Your "Run" of the Mill Running Book

What an interesting running book! Buy this book if you: -would like to be able to run well into your old age -would like to improve your running form and have fewer injuries -would like to have a more philosophical approach to your running -would like to increase your overall health Here's how the book roughly pans out: -Chapter 1: compares power running to ChiRunning -Chapter 2: goes into the 5 principles upon which TaiChi and ChiRunning are based -Chapter 3: gets into the "inner" skills of ChiRunning As you can see, the first 3 chapters lay out the philosopical foundation- that's so when you get to the specific techniques, they make sense. Chaper 4: learn about the ChiRunning "focuses"- which are the specific physical and mental methods used to run more efficiently. Chapters 5-9: covers program development, peak performance training and diet. Note: Chapter 7 also covers some info on common injuries such as muscle cramps, plantar fasciitis (also rec. "The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution" for more info on this), heel cord problems. Chapter 10: how to incorporate the ChiRunning principles into your everyday life As you can tell, ChiRunning, with its mind-body approach, is far from your typical book on running- and shouldn't be missed by any serious runner. Happy trails.
