CHI Marathon: The Breakthrough Natural Running Program for a Pain-Free Half Marathon and Marathon

A great running technique, simply explained. I would advise buying this book rather than the other Chi Running book by Danny Dreyer, as this has more illustrations. I also found youtube clips helpful. I'm not a hugely experienced runner, but this book really made me concentrate on my form. It's also helped my running become more meditative. I had done a bit of Qi Gong before, and I think that helped my sense of the basic c-shape standing pose, but it isn't necessary.After my first marathon I had a couple of injuries. I rested and read this book. Since then I've done another marathon and an ultra, all without injury. I'm sure that is in large part because this book.

Gives a full positiveness to running of all ages. A mentally balanced way to injury free running. Chi running for me structures your lifestyle too mentally, and lifts you up with enormous energy, and to live life healthier. Stables your mind and thoughts into a zone of calmness and peace, through meditation when running. A wonderful detailed book, to show you path through mind and body, for a injury free marathon training.

Bought for son who is into marathons. He was delighted with it - so a good present. Good value and informative.

Chi running is an intriguing way to run-- lean forward from the pivot point of the ankle joints-- so putting it all in together in the context of the marathon makes sense. And great service as always from Aphrohead.

I am a great fan of yoga and for me this book just brings many principles of yoga into my running. I am now running without any injuries and loving my running. Don't think twice about buying this book.

All you want to know about Chi marathon running,An excellent read

Got this at discount which worked out cheaper than buying the entire package (inc dvd etc) so I got to check it out. It does sometimes refer to track on the DVD or to the Chi-running book but enough information in this book to get one marathon ready. Having Cathriona McKiernan's endorsement of the book makes it a no-brainer.

Not as good as their previous book Chi Running but still a must have for all would be marathon runners
