Having read the blog of my friend Karen Rempel about Chirunning after she attended my workshop, I realize that she has a great insight into how the mind resists change. Our bodies learn a technique by practicing it over and over again. Our minds trick us into resisting that change, not only with running but in life.
My experience with chirunning has allowed me to run injury free and to enjoy my runs because of the absence of pain and the freedom to know that I will be able to run again tomorrow without pain! My body got used to this way of running easily but this does not necessarily need to apply to all of my students.
