People make a big deal about the shoes and the orthotics or inserts that they wear running. Although they can really help a runner get out the door, they may be adding a crutch where your body can be weaker and still run. It's paramount to work on your core, flexibility and joint mobility and running form with ChiRunning. Otherwise, no pair of shoes in the world is going to help you very much!

To be a good runner (and a good person, btw), you really have to have an ability to thrive under pressure and roll with changes in your life. We can whine or complain about how things don't go your way, but it's in those moments of challenge that build our character of who we are. I highly recommend the book The Resiliency Advantage by Al Siebert, PhD. When things don't go your way, you'll be better able to adjust and even thrive. Trent Corey PT, DPT Find Yourself Running,
