“Before I met Damian and was introduced to Chi Running, I was an average, SLOW runner plagued with chronic shin splints and knee pain. After working on my technique with Damian, I am pain-free and have already shaved some time off my pace! Now every time a friend, neighbor, family member complains of running-related injuries I can’t stop myself from inundating them with what I’ve learned from Damian because now I know there is a BETTER WAY! Damian and Chi Running have completely changed my running/life! Thank you Damian!!!”
-Celia Smith Christensen, Wholistic Running student
“Thanks so much for the wonderful lesson. It was even better than I had hoped. After class I ran the length of Peet’s Hill and back, concentrating on various tips you gave me. It felt awesome! You are not just very knowledgable on the subject, but are obviously very good at recognizing and diagnosing problems. Furthermore, you have a great way of explaining the focuses in a way that makes them easy to visualize and carry out. I’ve been telling everyone what a great lesson it was.”
-Chuck Swenson, Wholistic Running student
“I had such a lovely run yesterday. It was so peaceful and so fun to think about form instead of distance and time. Because I wasn’t dwelling on it, I ran farther than I planned but in the same time allotted. I love it. I want to go again! Thank you for sharing Chi Running.”
-Kathi Jenkins, Wholistic Running student

“Thanks Damian for another amazing Chi Walking session! Between body mechanics and your wisdom, I am assimilating a lot! Who knew I would be so passionate about walking!
-G.C., Wholistic Running student
“Finding an optimal cadence with Damian’s help was the defining factor to be able to run with no aching muscles and running twice as far. This lesson made running easier and more enjoyable. For me, a teacher is the only way to learn this technique because it’s so involved in the beginning. It helps to have Damian correct my form which feels different at first but is so efficient. He really pays attention to all the little details and he has a gift for teaching Chi Running. Damian also talked about the Chi Running philosophy and how running can become a meditation and joyful experience. I knew I needed this! I look forward to learning and practicing more, it helps me in everyday activities, and most of all I’m having fun while I run. I truly love Chi Running.”
