From the authors of the bestselling Chi Running , a game-changing training guide for injury-free long distance running. In Chi Marathon , Danny Dreyer, creator of the revolutionary ChiRunning program, highly respected running coach, and accomplished distance runner, takes a whole-body approach to long-distance running--much like T'ai Chi--making ease and efficiency of movement the prime goal of one's training. Chi Marathon is the first book to focus not on building stamina first (though that is covered here) but on how to run all those miles without harming your body. A staggering 80 to 90 percent of marathoners face injuries during their training. This book debunks the myth that marathoners need to push 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 how to improve your performance by developing your own race-specific training plan tailored to your event, and will help you cross the finish line feeling strong no matter your age, body type, or running ability. -Run a marathon or half marathon free of pain and injury -Transform your racing with the training triad: form, conditioning, and mastery -Tap into your chi, an energy source more powerful and enduring than muscles -Teach your mind and body to work together as a team and master your event This is the book that distance runners have been waiting for. With Chi Marathon you can enjoy the run and feel confident no matter the distance. Review: It works for me! - A great running technique, simply explained. I would advise buying this book rather than the other Chi Running book by Danny Dreyer, as this has more illustrations. I also found youtube clips helpful. I'm not a hugely experienced runner, but this book really made me concentrate on my form. It's also helped my running become more meditative. I had done a bit of Qi Gong before, and I think that helped my sense of the basic c-shape standing pose, but it isn't necessary.After my first marathon I had a couple of injuries. I rested and read this book. Since then I've done another marathon and an ultra, all without injury. I'm sure that is in large part because this book. Review: Chi running my lifetime partner - Gives a full positiveness to running of all ages. A mentally balanced way to injury free running. Chi running for me structures your lifestyle too mentally, and lifts you up with enormous energy, and to live life healthier. Stables your mind and thoughts into a zone of calmness and peace, through meditation when running. A wonderful detailed book, to show you path through mind and body, for a injury free marathon training.

Great book great service from Aphrohead
Chi running is an intriguing way to run-- lean forward from the pivot point of the ankle joints-- so putting it all in together in the context of the marathon makes sense. And great service as always from Aphrohead.

this book just makes sense!!
I am a great fan of yoga and for me this book just brings many principles of yoga into my running. I am now running without any injuries and loving my running. Don't think twice about buying this book.

Great practical book
Got this at discount which worked out cheaper than buying the entire package (inc dvd etc) so I got to check it out. It does sometimes refer to track on the DVD or to the Chi-running book but enough information in this book to get one marathon ready. Having Cathriona McKiernan's endorsement of the book makes it a no-brainer.

Ein optimales Laufgefühl, dank ChiRunning.
Fünfunddreissig Jahre einen falschen Stil gelaufen. ChiRunning hat alles verändert. Laufen ohne Schmerz und verletzungsfrei. Hightech-Schuhe habe ich entsorgt und bin auf minimalistische Barfußschuhe umgestiegen. Ein wunderbares, natürliches Lauferlebnis hat sich eingestellt. Das Buch ist für jeden Läufer wertvoll.
