“CHI-RUNNING” - with Master Instructor, Catherina McKiernan (world cross country medalist)
Former Olympic athlete and Irish marathon record holder Catherina McKiernan is coming to County Limerick to conduct one of her specialist Chi-Running workshops. Catherina, who won the London marathon in 1998 qualified as a Chi-Running Instructor in 2005. Since then, she has taught hundreds of athletes from all over Ireland the art of Chi-Running. "Chi-Running takes the pounding, pain and potential damage out of the sport of running. It is basically about energy efficiency and injury prevention. In simple terms, the Chi-Running technique reduces the risk of injury", according to Catherina. "Runners young and old and of all abilities have come to my classes and I get a great reaction from them all once they put Chi-Running into practice".
Who can benefit from Chi-Running? Chi-Running has helped many people, from beginners to cross country runners to triathletes. Whether you are just beginning a running program or training for a marathon, race, or triathlon, the Chi-Running approach is one that builds a healthy body, instead of breaking it down from misuse or overuse.
