Book Reviews of ChiRunning

Book Review: Almost Perfect for any Runner
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this book as a running companion! It has great incite on the bio-mechanics of running and teaches people to run more efficiently and how to run injury free for life. I personally learned a lot from this book and having suffered from shin-splints in previous years, I have been running pain free after adopting the Chi Running Method.

The only thing I didn't like about this book was his chapter on nutrition. As an endurance runner, you need to fuel yourself properly before, during, and after any run. I found Danny Dreyer's advice to be quite lacking and impractical. Use this book to improve your running and not your diet. Performance Nutrition for Runners by Matt Fitzgerald is a great choice for nutrition advice.

Summary of ChiRunning

More than 24 million people run in the United States alone, but 65 percent will have to stop at least once this year because of injury. Still others will choose to run through the pain. But in this groundbreaking book, ultramarathoner Danny Dreyer teaches us the running technique he created to heal and prevent injuries and also to run faster, farther, and with much less effort at any age.

ChiRunning employs the deep power reserves in the core muscles of the trunk, an approach that grows out of such disciplines as yoga, Pilates, and t'ai chi. This excellent step-by-step program offers training principles and is easily learned.

Dramatically reduce your potential for injury Make knee pain and shin splints a thing of the past Greatly reduce post-run recovery time Create a safe and effective training program Make running any distance enjoyable whether you're a beginning runner or a seasoned competitor
