Chi Running Simplified

This is a technique used by runners to run efficiently. I have read some article about this technique but this video explain it as simple as impossible.  Chi Running was developed in 1999 by Danny Dreyer, an American ultra-marathon runner, t'ai chi practitioner, and founder of the North Carolina-based company Chi Running. It has been described as using relaxation and proper form when running and walking. Said to emphasize posture, core strength, relaxed legs, and mindfulness. it has been said that this technique leads to fewer injuries and runners who have been previously injured claimed that they are able to return running using this kind of method.

Watch the video below and learn how to achieve efficient running and lesser injury.

Running behind another Runner more Efficient?

If you look at a group of mountain biker or a road biker on the road, they often deliberately ride close behind each other, and you ask yourself why do they do this? They do this to conserve energy, by letting the front biker take all the air resistance while the back rider could rest. I know this works because I have done this many times and to be frank it actually works for me. But I was wondering if this method could also work on running?

After a lot of thought I tried to research it on the web looking for someone, if somebody have tried this.

After a lot of reading, I read one article saying that “Jogging or running at 5mph into a 15mph headwind will increase your calorie burning by about 15% compared to still air. While turning around and jogging at the same speed with a 15 mph tailwind will decrease your calories burning by about 5% compared to still air”.

What his trying to say is, if you jog or run against the wind you exert more effort therefore use more energy, losing more calories, and if you run towards the wind you save 5% of your energy.

Then it is true that you lose more calories if there is a strong headwind or wind that is against the direction you are running, but if there is no or less headwind the amount of wind resistance is less therefore lesser energy lost or none at all.

Bikers regularly do Drifting (this is what they call it) because biker move at a much faster speed than a regular runner. Bikers exert more effort and energy to maintain speed because wind resistance is greater therefore drifting save them more energy.

I believe that runners could also use drifting if he increases his speed or there is a strong headwind. Wind  increases a runners speed relative to the wind and this increases the wind  resistance, thus it is more efficient for a runner runs at the back of another runner letting that runner block the headwind.

Join the Running Revolution with Adidas Energy Boost

The Adidas has just announced its new product, the Energy Boost™ running shoes. Adidas known to be the leading sport brand in the world and a global leader within the sporting goods industry, offering a broad range of product around its core brands: adidas, Reebok, TaylorMade, Rockport and Reebok-CCM Hockey.

The release of their new product says it’s going to revolutionize the sports of running with its new technology the “ENERGY BOOST™. The innovation is centered on a proprietary cushioning material BOOST™, this material will allow the runner to feel continuous energy return, and this could mean an increase in your stride length. Increase in stride means increase in distance traveled. The impressive cushioning effect of this material will also help runners cushion every time your foot lands on the ground therefore reduces leg injury.

The material has also been proven to hold its performance even in the harshest condition, even three times more temperature-resistant than the standard EVA material. EVA is short for Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) a copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate, extremely elastic and have excellent toughness. If this is better than EVA then this would provide a more consistent and comfortable run than any existing shoes on the market today.

Bern Wahler Head of the Innovation for Adidas said, “As a revolutionary material, BOOST™ combines the usually conflicting performance benefits of soft and comfortable with firm and responsive cushioning. It almost makes the shoe come to life, and you will feel it from the first moment you put it on. It sets a new standard, not only for running shoes, but for the entire industry, and all products going forward”.

WOW, what a bold way to say it, if this is true then we might have a great shoe that could perhaps surpass all existing shoe in the market, I will not be surprise if runners would dub this “the running shoes on steroid” and the best part is, it’s practically legal.

Adidas did not just stop on boosting your run. Energy BOOST™ also goes beyond the revolutionary midsole technology. The upper on the Energy BOOST™ features Adidas techfit technology, which provides optimal comfort and support to the entire foot while in motion.

More features include a special mid-foot support frame, an extended TORSION® system to minimize roll for more stability, adiwear outsole to reduce wear in key soles areas and an external heel counter to maximize the heel fit and comfort.

The Adidas Energy Boost™ is miCoach compatible, it is a training tool developed by Adidas, this works in three part system with a stride sensor, a heart monitor, and a receiver that talks to you. It is practically a personal virtual coach.

Adidas Energy Boost™ retails at Php 7995 and will be available for pre-order at adidasboost.com from 15^th until 24^th of February. Pre-ordered pair will then be ready for pick up on the 27^th of February at adidas Bonifacio Global City.
