Poster: technically speaking
Subject: RE: Evolution Running, POSE method and Chi Running
Body:

I'm 45 years old and had gotten below 60 min for 10 miles almost 3 years ago on my regular old form. Then I had ACL knee surgery after an accident, and I've had injury trouble on my way back, but finally, with Evolution Running, I have had a consistent 4 months, and ran my first race 2 weeks ago, a 5K road in 18:20. I added some Chi technique in the past couple of weeks and ran a tempo that felt quite a bit easier than usual - 45 minutes at 6:20 pace, keeping my HR at just below my lactate threshold.

So now I'm thinking that I should stay the course with these techniques and see where things go - I want to get as good as possible at 5K to 1/2 marathon distances. Steven Duplinsky was coached by Ken Mierke, the Author of Evolution Running, and I know he ran a 14:38 5K leg of a sprint triathlon in the Junior Division (He is featured in the Evolution Running DVD demonstrating the technique), so the technique is not only intended to reduce injury, but also improve performance(again, it is based on observations of East African elite runners).
