Wk2R2 Discovered "chi-running"

[Kitk]

I've a friend who's nearly clocked 100 marathons and recently I was asking her about tips for someone just starting out running. She sent me a YouTube vid on "Chi-Running" (now I know it's not really to do with tradition chi etc, but I liked the concept) and I tried running in that style today. Putting the lean into my running really felt nicer (my calves still hurt...but more in the walks than the runs themselves). 

I was wondering if anyone else knows anything about the style and has any more advice or experience of it...

Thanks in advance

It's something I've been trying too but I began only a couple of runs ago and I'm still trying to familiarise with that...

There's been loads of talk on here about it, so you could browse some of the posts

Thanks for this post, watched a couple of videos and then went and gave it a go.  What a difference   the gremlins wernt with me telling me to stop and I wasnt gasping for the end to come.  I had fallen into making excuses not to go on runs in the last few weeks but I have renewed enthusiasm now.
