FitOldDog applies Chi-Running to fix aortic stent claudication on run.

FitOldDog’s Training Diary (Day 104 of 221), Aortic Surgery To Lake Placid Ironman 2014 - Back To Chi-Running, And It Works!

I met Danny Dryer one day, and he was the same guy as on his videos. Just a regular guy with no ego. I like that, and I like Chi-Running as an approach to low impact progression across the surface of planet Earth.

Countdown to Lake Placid Ironman

A blustery day on this lovely track. Where is everyone?

Note: My current goal is to get my running back on track, in spite of the inevitable blood flow limitations associated with a rigid (non-compliant) stent graft. My experience with Chi-Running did the trick today, which is encouraging for the Lake Placid Ironman 2014.

Workouts:

Run #1 (Morning trails, in Hoka One Ones): 2-mile Chi-run with dogs, went well. No claudication or other issues.

Run #2 (Evening on track, in Nike Frees): 2-mile Chi-run, no dogs, great run, very encouraging.

Focus = Hobbit feet.
