This book has changed the way I look at running.. While I'm more accustomed to OCR races I suffered from shin splints and I decided to figure out why and in the process ran into a Chi Running video.. Since I've read the book I've started to practice and have been able to run a 5k without any shin splints and brought my mile down to 8 mins from 10 mins.. More importantly it has reopened my interest for running. For my OCR races it has helped me understand my body better and how to conserve my energy.

I am intrigued in learning more about Chi Running, but reading the book made my head hurt. Think I need to check out the DVD and see video demos.
