Chi running

Chi running is a way of running in which the midfoot strike rather than the heel strike that is commonly used in some runners. The idea behind the use of a midfoot strike is that is supposed to be less stressful on the body and cause less overuse injuries. At least that is what the promoters and supporters of Chi running claim. The New balance running shoe company have made a special shoe in collaboration with the Chi running shoe community specifically for the mid foot strike technique of running. There is a lack of evidence to support the concept of Chi running but in some community wherein people find it very helpful.
