“I felt like I was floating.”

“I wanted to drop you a quick note of update and thanks for your invaluable lessons in Chi Running.  I ran the Urbanathlon in Chicago a couple weeks ago–12 mile obstacle course–and finished stronger than I could have dreamed.  The friends I thought would have to wait for me, well, I was practically dragging them the whole last hour.  Mile 10 was done on the stairs at the Bears football stadium and while others were fading, wheezing or throwing up, I ran the stairs two at a time.  Though I waited for my friends and finished with them this year, next year they’d better keep up or I’m leaving them.  And not a hint of knee pain the entire race. I couldn’t have done it without you or Chi Running.”

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.”

“Thank you so much for the class last night! I thought I would wake up and not be able to move due to soreness but I feel amazing! I just went for a morning run! I love what I am learning and never thought I could get back to where I was a year ago before my accident, I know now that I CAN!” 

“It felt like I wasn’t running.”

Hey Amy! The running is going great.  I’ve really seen a difference after implementing Chi running.  I’ve had no back pain and relatively no soreness after each run.  Yesterday, I tackled the hills of Ballantyne (aptly called “The Soul Crusher”) and felt very happy with my performance (thanks to those 45 degree arms!)  I’m still slower than my average but I’m okay with that. Right now, my main focus is on the alignment and keeping my arms by my sides.  I’m really excited and can’t wait to continue with the progress.” 

“Amy, I just want to thank you for Saturday’s session.  I learned so much and had fun!  I’m practicing my running and walking!  Thanks!” 

“I went out with my dog yesterday for a longer run in our neighborhood (a little under 6 miles…lots of hills).  I usually run for the first 2 miles, then walk/run the remainder.  Yesterday, I ran the entire time and felt great! Nearly 3 times the distance the first time out using the chi techniques!!  And, the best part: I felt *graceful*.  I have NEVER in my life felt graceful!!  It almost felt like I was floating.  I’m so excited about my new “practice”! So, on Saturday, when I said I wasn’t a runner….can I change my answer to “I am a CHI RUNNER”!  Thanks so much for your teachings and support!  I’m SOLD!!”
