This book is encouraging me to take up running again after a long layoff. It's worth a serious look.

I've heard of many people who can run again by following chi or pose running. Let us know how it goes...

Fossana - Thanks for the heads up.

I used to run a lot, mostly to decompress from the Manhattan lifestyle. I think I know every sq foot of Central and Riverside Parks. I just let it go when I came to CA, not due to injury or wear and tear but just because I was hiking and climbing all the time. So I kind of miss it now and want to get back to it...

Any specifics on Chi Running injuries would be appreciated.

Hows the tendonitis?

Thanks everyone - I'll look up this POSE technique too...

Of course not, no single study can ever be conclusive. But CrossNutters don't need no stinkin' science so don't let an N of 236 deter you from anything. :roll:

Then how come you said "shows that running is indeed bad for the knees and leads to arthritis" That sounds like a definitive statement to me...nice to see you backtrack. And didn't we already determine you've never tried crossfit, so you have no idea what you are talking about. :roll:
