Imagine applying the Chi principle of 'body-sensing' off the trail—how could it deepen our connection to ourselves?

Today’s topic aligns perfectly with the season theme of 'Redefine' as we explore today how focus reshapes our running experience. Did you know our attention span averages 8 seconds? Yes, that's a second shorter than a goldfish! So much for Ted Lasso's 'be a goldfish, Sam' pep talk after a blunder, right? We're all in the same boat, pulled by the allure of 'pretty things.' Our focus is a precious commodity, and we hold the reins on where it goes. If, like me, you're eager to find a solution to that persistent craving for another dopamine hit, stick around. What we really want is a quiet brain. A calm brain. Maybe physical exhaustion after a hard or long run is currently your ticket to finally feeling the calm settle in. So often we run to feel better physically and mentally but more often than not we return feeling disillusioned when the results of what we typically track (such as pace and distance) seem ‘blah’. We then feel frustrated and to top it off the mind still feels wired from the 2-3,000 thoughts we experienced during the hour we were running. Retrospectively, we noticed we had a difficult time connecting with the run. We need a solution to our TikTok brains. Ready? Click play.

On the last episode, I talked about the transformative power of ChiRunning, exploring how it's not just about the miles but really the mindful connection between your body and mind. I called it a system upgrade. So I want you to imagine taking this 'system upgrade' this profound shift in your approach to running, and extending it into an immersive experience. That's exactly what the Run Aligned ChiRunning Retreats are all about. They were born out of the desire to provide a space for you to fully embrace this upgrade, both physically and mentally. As I tell you about the origin story of the retreats today, keep in mind that it's not just a narrative about events; it's a journey that mirrors the transformation you can experience. They can really be a catalyst for redefining not only your running but your entire approach to well-being. Ready? Click play.

Another episode for your runner’s ‘tool belt’ to help you reduce your risk of injury and increase your joy of running physically and mentally. Today is all about the core and why understanding proper core engagement is so important. Before learning this I used to have achy hips ( not while running necessarily) but throughout the day especially in the morning. As a matter of fact at 40 I thought I needed hip replacements and I hadn’t even started running yet. My chiropractor and PT both said it was hip bursitis and we looked for stretches to help alleviate the pain but it never went away. That is until I learned how to level my pelvis and engage my core because it reduced the extraneous motion I was making when walking and running.
