The one-legged posture is the basis for chi running

The one-legged posture is the basis for chi running technique. The leg in the air should be relaxed from the knee down, with toe dropped.

Your Questions on Running

Arthritis, bunions, knee pain and shin splints; it's a pernicious group of injuries that frequently conspires to keep runners off the road.

Dr. Mark Cucuzzella and Danny Dreyer, founder of the ChiRunning method, answer your questions about how to make running work for you.

Read their responses.

Danny Dreyer demonstrates the alignment for his chi running technique
Lori Cheung

Danny Dreyer demonstrates the alignment for his chi running technique: the back is straight, lower abdominals are slightly crunched, which helps keep the pelvis level, and the upper body is slightly forward. The idea is that every time your foot hits the ground, your shoulder, hip bones and ankle should be in a straight line. That way, your weight is supported by your frame, not your muscles.

If you watch world-class runners, says Cucuzzella, "They're landing right under their center of body mass. They're lifting their legs, not pushing off."

    Hello there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was
    wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
    I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've had issues with
    hackers and I'm looking at options for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

    Right now it looks like Wordpress is the preferred blogging platform available
    right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

    The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and
    tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can
    be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.

    I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

    Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you're using? I'm planning to start my own blog soon but I'm having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
    P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.

    You clearly know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on
    just posting videos to your weblog when you could
    be giving us something informative to read?

    Hi there! I know this is somewhat off-topic but I had to
    ask. Does managing a well-established blog such as yours require a large amount of work?
    I'm brand new to operating a blog however I do write in my diary daily. I'd like
    to start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and thoughts online.

    Please let me know if you have any recommendations or
    tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Appreciate it!

    Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this,
    like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with a few pics to
    drive the message home a bit, but instead of that,
    this is excellent blog. A fantastic read. I'll certainly be back.
