Chi Marathon

A game-changing training guide for injury-free long distance running. Injury among marathoners is between 80 and 90 percent. Most marathon books and training programs focus primarily on building stamina - but they often don't address how running all those miles may be seriously harming your body. Chi Marathon debunks the myth that marathons require pushing through and beyond pain and presents a technique-based plan for pain-and-injury-free high performance half and full marathons. Chi Marathon also shows you how to improve your performance by developing your own race-specific training plan tailored to your event. Author Danny Dreyer, a highly respected running coach and accomplished distance runner, takes a whole-body approach to running - much like Tai Chi - making ease and efficiency of movement the prime goal of one's training.
