Chi Running in Bournemouth

If any one is interested, Catherina Mckiernan (runcatherina.com) Master ChiRunning Instructor and the 1998 London Marathon Winner is leading a workshop on Saturday 19th April in Bournemouth.

She will be teaching people to run effortless and injury free by combining focuses from tai chi with modern bio-mechanics.

One of the main differences between how we "normally" run and Chirunning is chi runners use gravity for propulsion in preference to leg muscles!

Thousands of people have benefited from ChiRunning - especially Triathletes who love the energy conservation that ChiRunning offers.

There are a few spaces left on Catherina's workshop and it's at a special price of £99.

Please contact her directly if you fancy it.

Latest Run schedule

Please find attached the lates run schedule for Tuesday and Thurdays up to the 6th May.

Regards

Rob

P.S Next Wednesday we start our regular bike sessions from the Commodore Pub on Southbourne overcliff. This season I will be coaching the sessions and will structure them so that they remain  both focused and as safe as possible. We will be using the Hengistbury to Boscombe loop and this will give us the opportunity to practice skills as well as build in pace work, and some running off the bike sessions as we progress. For these sessions please make sure you wear helmets (No helmet, no ride, at least with the group!) I know some of you find it difficult to get there on time for 6.30pm so we will aim to meet at 6.30 and then allow a further 10 minutes, during which times I can brief the session with the aim of leaving no later than 6.45pm
