Chi running-life force, lessons on the road to becoming an ironman.

Today I finally will get my chi training. Though the more I run the better I feel my form is, I feel it's probably a good idea to get formal training . Bad habits in anything physical typically leads to overuse injury . I started reading the chi running book by Danny Dreyer years ago and today I get to have a private coaching lesson from one of his disciples . Why , so I can be a grandma competing in ironman Kona! :) Hopefully , I reach my Kona goal well before my qualification relies on the age factor! Chi running just makes sense from a physics point of view. The teaching states your arms and legs are pendulums. Your arms swing from your shoulders and your legs swing from your hips. The law of the pendulum states that any pendulum of a given length will always swing at the same rate. The techniques focus on relaxation . So necessary, I know for sure that most of my running issues are my own stress , and when I'm tense , running hurts more, my breathing gets inconsistent and more labored. Running chi is balance in motion, it makes sense. So much sense that NASA astronauts agreed his theory is correct. I'll let you know more of what I think after my lesson today road to ironman continues!........
