I came across ChiRunning when I was looking at summer programs at Kripalu.

ChiRunning is self-desribed as;

"ChiRunning combines the inner focus and flow of T'ai Chi with the power and energy of running to create a revolutionary running form and philosophy that takes the pounding, pain, and potential damage out of the sport of running. The ChiRunning program increases mental clarity and focus, enhances the joy of running, and turns running into a safe and effective lifelong program for health, fitness, and well-being."

It looks interesting. Anything that can help reduce pain and increase speed sounds convincing enough for me to try. So, I registered for the Chi Running Essentials half-day workshop with a Chi Running instructor in Toronto on May 13th. 

I will try it out and let you know how it goes...
