RUNNING ANALYSIS

ChiRunning technique

Video Analysis is one of the quickest ways to implement and improve your ChiRunning technique. Sometimes what we feel our body is doing is actually not what is happening out on the ground. Utilizing video as a tool to discover what’s slowing you down, causing discomfort, or possibly where you can tweak your current ChiRunning form, will improve your efficiency.
