5 Stars Amazing Book! A must have for any runner!
ChiRunning

My running coach told me this book would be a requirement for me if I was going to truly attain the goals I set for myself concerning running. I purchased it and have already read the book 3 times over. It truly teaches you a better and easier form of running. I have already increased my speed without any more effort. In fact, less effort. The book touches on every aspect of ones life and teaches you how to have a well balanced, well rounded life.

I would recommend this book to anyone that is a serious runner or a beginner runner that wants to really learn to run.

4 Stars Enlightening
I am enjoying this new way to look at and monitor my running performance.

This book is helping me to enjoy my running more as well as enabling me to receive feedback from my body.

2 Stars Chi-Running, more like cha-ching running
I am a running coach and had heard all the hype about this book so I felt compelled to buy it. At the end of the day, the information was not nearly as useful or revolutionary as the hype suggests. What it is, is merely a copy cat of “Pose running” with Ti-Chi attached.

Now I don’t have a problem with Ti-Chi, I just think it was the “juice” to sensationalize a system of running that is already in play. Well written, not much to argue with, I just was hoping for a bit more unique factor from the author which I did not find.

5 Stars Run Baby Run
This book is great for those who want to run correctly. As a Chiropractor, this book helps you run in an injury free way. For distance runners it is great, or for those who want to run for a long time at a slower pace. Ultramarathoners would benefit from this book too.
