Chirunning Hungary

Szofia Malatinszky is a runner, triathlete, coach, former show jumper, the only domestic ChiRunning instructor. Her achievements include domestic and foreign victories and podium finishes, but she also won World Cups and World Championships. After completing the University of Physical Education and several other coaching courses, she started working as a coach. It deals with adult amateur runners and triathletes. ChiRunning is a running technique and methodology aimed at energy-saving and injury-free running. Running that uses the laws of anatomy, physics and nature, the forces acting on the body. It was developed by American ultra runner Danny Dreyer in It is very popular in the USA, and more and more people know, use and teach this technique in Western Europe as well. The first edition of the ChiRunning book was published in America in 2004, and since then it has been translated into several languages. However, you cannot learn any form of movement from a book alone. On the one hand, because I read it, I think I understand it, I start practicing it. And who will correct me if what I do is wrong? Who will answer my questions if I don't feel or experience that or if what was written is not clear? One has an idea of what one does - whatever it is. If you look back at this on a recording, in a large percentage of cases you will be amazed, because what you see is very far from what you imagined. On the other hand, if someone reads the book, they will most likely not stop there and do each task (which is still far from running) carefully, but read it and get the following for themselves: aha, you have to lean, land on the middle of the foot, and step count around 180 to produce. That's enough of the theory, he enthusiastically goes for a run, and with that, figuratively speaking, he has already built a roof in the empty air. My experience so far shows that hard-working, hard-to-correct movements are often fixed by practitioners from the book.
