What clients say about Amy...

“I was able to complete my half-ironman triathlon with no knee pain, and even finished it within the eight hours!  No knee pain the next two days, either. I did the run in about 2 ½ hours, focusing on form and not speed, as you suggested, and it worked for me!  So, thank you for your help. Your suggestions about balance helped also, as it rained during the bike event, and I had no road-rash. Kudos for your class, and for your extra comments after!”

~ Greg, Augusta, GA

“ChiRunning has enabled me to run without knee pain -even after my knee surgery!”

~ Lynn G. Charlotte,  NC
 
“Hi Amy, Just a note to say thanks. My 11.5 run on Sunday went FAR better than last week’s 10 miler. While heat obviously had an impact last week, I cannot believe the difference in the my energy and my thoughts. You are spot on with it requires constant focus but then that repairs so many of the problems. I must have said “1-2-3″ thousands of times but went up the hills faster and finished at a 45 second per minute pace faster than the previous week and still felt good enough to take the family apple picking yesterday afternoon.  I plan on using this routinely now as I genuinely felt a significant difference.”

“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.”

~ Anne

“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!!!”

~ Diane, Charlotte, NC

“Thank you for the fast turn around on the video.  You did an awesome job Saturday!  After I got back home,  I tried to put some of it in action;  I went on a five mile run.  I felt a little bit of the pull and pain in my achilles tendons and calves.  Then I read your corrective actions last night and put them to work today during lunch and I not only have no pain, I think the tendons feel better than they did before I ran.”

~ Darrel, Savannah, GA

“I had a great time and the class helped me so so much…thank you! Chi on ;-)”

~ Maha

“Thanks, Amy.  Seeing the video was really helpful. When I did my workout tonight, I really focused on keeping my stride much smaller and having my legs land right underneath my body and my arms going back instead of reaching forward. I went much slower, but it felt really good.  I ran 8 minutes, then walked 2 and repeated that 4 times, and for the first time ever, at the end of the running segments, instead of feeling like I was going to collapse, I felt like if I had needed to keep running, instead of walking, I could have done it.  That was amazing!”

~ Alison R. Charlotte, NC
I’ve begun running again over the past few weeks and without pain! I’ve been slowly ramping up my distance and ran 4 miles this morning, again without pain. I’ve been focusing on the form you taught me and I think that has helped tremendously, especially utilizing the shorter strides. I’ve also been more diligent about stretching out my hips regularly which I also think has helped a ton.
 
I’m hoping to get back up to 6 miles soon to join the  crew on Saturday mornings but will keep you posted on my progress.
