Testimonials:
"I am 62 years old and have run a lot of marathons and half marathons in the past 30 years. During that time I have had more of running injuries than I can count, especially as I've gotten older. I was about to give up on running, try a different form of exercise. But this year I joined the Beach Runner's training program and was introduced to ChiRunning®. Every thing you said made sense, and as I trained for the Long Beach Half Marathon, I experienced no running injuries, or even many aches and pains. The Chi philosophy really works. I am back to enjoying every run again." Thank you, John
"I just wanted to say thank you! Without the Beach Runners training program, I would not have run this marathon at all. I think it was Steve who talked me into signing up to train for the full marathon, when originally, I just wanted to run the half marathon. It was not anywhere in my plans to do something crazy like run a marathon this year, and look, I finished it yesterday. The group was awesome, definitely something I needed to get me out of bed all those Saturday mornings. Add to that, the inspirational speeches, all the support, and company while I was running, it definitely was an awesome experience." -Marina

ChiRunning® is a revolutionary approach to effortless, injury-free running. It combines the inner focus and flow of T'ai Chi with the power and energy of running. ChiRunning is about alignment and relaxation, which when combined allows you to cooperate with the force of gravity...offering no resistance to the forward pull. You'll be getting yourself out of the way, letting gravity and flow take over.
