Man, I really hope that my competition thinks just like you (my sincere apologies if you're being sarcastic -- it's hard to tell on here these days). Hall does huge amounts of core work, as does Teg.
Meb worked out with Hall and did a lot of core work this summer, wonder if it helped him at all?

For one thing, Danny Dwyer says that everyone should run at 180 strides per minute regardless of the speed they are running or their height.
So does Jack Daniels.

and they are both wrong and greatly oversimplifying the process.
Because of statements like these you have people greatly jacking up their strides to get to this magic number instead of optimizing their stride frequency and length.
Elites can have their optimal stride length while turning over pretty dang quick.
Regular runners or even HS kids aren't at that level yet, so if they want to get to 180, they have dramatically shorten their stride, past what is optimal.
That's what happens when you make gneralizations to everyone without thinking about it.
Have you read the book or met the man? He emphasizes gradual progress as much as anybody. It's sad that people make things up without studying the meterial. You are the one simplyfing the process. Danny Dreyer doesn't say it's simple, he says it's a process. Chi running is his approach to life long injury free running. His main goal is not to run fast but to run healthy. We are so focused on producing the fastest runner we put numbers on their training. It's fine to post criticism but at least criticize the actual material presented in the training philosophy.

Chi running is not only simple, it is ignorant.
And it is not injury free. If you take a look at their forum you will see almost all chi runners getting injured constantly, which is not surprising because their mechanics are all wrong. They get a lot of foot and leg injuries, because they are constantly trying to quicken their strides at slow paces, instead of running from their upper legs and their hips.
Yeah I know they day to run from the hips, but they also say not to use any power, i.e. use a very short stride in order to keep going at 180 at slow paces. Hmm their running is 180 turned around backwards!
> His main goal is not to run fast but to run healthy.
Try slow and unhealthy.
All you people talking Chit about Chit Running, well you don't know Chit!
See? Cause I KNOW CHIT!
I have read all about Chit Running, how to run like Chit, and I RUN LIKE CHIT!
Do you run like Chit?????????????????
I don't think so!!!! Unless you have read about Chit Running, bought the dvd's about Chit Running, and unless you RUN LIKE CHIT the way that I RUN LIKE CHIT!
Otherwise then you're JUST TALKING CHIT about CHIT RUNNING see!!!! So stop all this talking CHIT about CHIT RUNNING unless you know all the CHIT about CHIT RUNNING the way that I know all the CHIT. Man I AM A CHIT RUNNER.
DON'T GIVE ME ANY CHIT!!!!
Does anybody know where to find an honest evaluation of the chi training philosophy? Has anybody actually tried it and want to add something worthwhile to the conversation?
