Organizer’s description
Introduction to ChiRunning (http://www.chirunning.com/), Natural Running (http://www.posetech.com/services/OzzieGontang.html) and Pose Method (http://www.posetech.com/services/OzzieGontang.html) with Ozzie Gontang (http://mindfulness.com). Learn to run with regular running shoe, minimalist running shoes using the form and style used by Barefoot Runners. The principles Ozzie wrote about back in the late 90's have become the "primary principle of barefoot running." (http://www.mindfulness.com/2009/11/24/mindful-running-ya-never-know-your-impact/) Easy 2 to 4 mile run while practicing the principles of my running friends: ChiRunning (Danny Dreyer), Natural Running (Danny Abshire), Barefoot Running (Barefoot Ken Bob Saxton/Lee Saxby) and Pose Method (Nicholas Romanov). Several stops along the way to teach techniques for injury prevention. Check out Ozzie's blog on Mindful Running (http://www.mindfulness.com/category/mindful-running/) which has a lot of articles compiled on running and marathoning. Check out local coach Ben Boyd's site: Effortless Running (http://effortlessrunning.com). A good place to get the basics or to get a better understanding of ChiRunning, Natural Running or Pose Method. Also where the concepts are put into practice right away during a 2 to 4 mile run. Teaching students these methods that to run with a quick cadence allows less impact and therefore less injuries.
