It's explained very simply. I was also able to implement the ideas very quickly and easily. If you are turned off by the woo woo factor of ChiRunning, Evolution is for you.J.P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17052055020555407468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-4343902991330661492010-03-27T19:02:54.972-04:002010-03-27T19:02:54.972-04:00""""""""St...""""""""Still, I would instruct runners to allow the calf muscles to remain relaxed, which will result in significant weight being placed on the heel after it gently touched the ground.

It has to do with the location of one's center of gravity directly over the ball of the foot. Nothing to do with holding one's weight up in an excessive manor. Are you unaware of how to accomplish a ball of the foot landing without excessive calf tension? I could explain more thoroughly how if you would like.Agelrunningmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18223934173080710857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-5984917570123222302010-03-27T12:31:31.227-04:002010-03-27T12:31:31.227-04:00Thanks Jason -- I'm currently grounded, but I ...Thanks Jason -- I'm currently grounded, but I hope to get back to running within a month or so.

I have had similar "challenges" with Pose and Chi and have tried to adapt to what my body was feeling was correct but I am still relatively new to "barefoot" running having only a couple of months on VFFs. Previous to this I was running and still do some of my runs in thin soled/minimal shoes like Innov8, Puma, and NB as suggested by Pose advocates. <br /><br />One thing you mentioned jumped out to me and I think it is more from the technique you teach than the DVD and that was the challenge of running hills and "patellar tendon problems." I had an ACL surgery a few years ago where the middle third of my left patellar tendon was removed to be the new ACL graft. As a result I think I now have more problems with patellar pain in that knee than I ever did with the ACL previously. What do you teach that helps with the patellar tendon pain? I notice much more pain in that region when I have gone out for runs of 10 miles or more. I would love to have some insight into what could help or even a teaching resource in CO that I could work with.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />ErikErik Backeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17799130188166164849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117671123395795249.post-51718196901694801502010-03-27T10:56:42.209-04:002010-03-27T10:56:42.209-04:00Many thanks, Jason.
