“Amy! Just really quickly, we did about 4 miles this morning trying REALLY hard to keep it all together (and not sit!!!!! Elongate my spine! Look up! Relax the shoulders! Check in with my feet! Belly button-spine! Don’t spill my Chi! Knees down! don’t sit! Lean from ankles, not waist! Right elbow in! Don’t spill the water!). The uphills were AMAZING! What a difference the 45deg angle makes. Breathing was better than ever.I have to say I felt like I was going sooooooo slow! But as it turns out, I wasn’t! No problem with my hip and Pete felt good, too. He BLAZED the first mile at 7:32!! So the stats are this: My per-mile pace was 9:15 average (about 15 sec/mile faster than my last four runs). Pete’s average was 8:20! So briefly: THANK YOU!!!”
“I felt like I was floating.”
“Hello Amy, Your instruction has really paid off. I ran 6.07 miles yesterday which is a new record for me. Of course, pain free and with a reasonable amount of energy used. Chi Running has given me the confidence for my Tough Mudder training that I will be able to finish it from a cardio standpoint. The obstacles are another story! I cannot thank you enough for transforming my poor running technique into an efficient and effective form. I still find that sometimes I fall into bad habits (dropping my arms, not leaning forward enough) but am able to recognize it immediate and make the necessary corrections. Wishing you the best!”
“Amy, thank you!!! I have been running again for the first time in a long time and I have to say I am very excited. I will definitely keep you recommendations in mind. I appreciate you taking the time to follow up – I know how important time is these days…… Great class!!!”
“Amy, had a great run this am on the greenway at Freedom Park. Ran from the park to Vivace and back in around 38 min. Maybe 2 miles? I slowed down to a walk when my heart rate monitor was over my upper limit. I love my shoes and the laces didn’t come untied. One thing I’m most pleased about is that I ran more than I walked. hope you chi-d on this beautiful weekend.”
Thanks Amy! I have been working on it all week. One of the biggest items that has helped me……… is how to run down hills! My knees don’t hurt!! I showed my husband last night because he was struggling Thursday when we did our massive hill run. Enjoyed the class.”
“Thanks Amy. I really appreciated the class. I got a lot out of it. It is definitely helpful to have a live instructor. The books and on line videos are great but limited as they can’t observe the reader/viewer implementing the techniques.”
“The flying feeling was really fun and not something I had felt since I was a kid!”
“You have truly made a difference in my long term health and I am forever grateful!”
Thank you so much for the clinic. I went for a run Saturday and was amazed at what a difference the chi principal made. I know it will take more practice, but I am very excited about the possibilities. I look forward to getting feedback from the video.
