Q:I have been looking for a review on the chi running marathon training dvd for beginners. I have been wondering if the DVD is the same as there Chi Running DVD, which I own, along with the original book. I am a big fan of the original book, but as I prepare for my first marathon, I was wondering if purchasing the Marathon DVD and book would be worth it. Thanks so much for taking the time. Bill

Hi Bill,
Thanks for your question. I can’t directly answer about the ChiRunning marathon training DVD for beginners, because I don’t own it nor have I seen it. But, I do have the original book, and I decided that, when training for my first half marathon, I should buy the ChiRunning “Pain-Free Half Marathon Training Program”. It’s a spiral bound little book and it was a wonderful purchase. I would really recommend the marathon for beginners book because I’m sure it’s similar. It is a very detailed plan of how many miles to run each week with form focuses, cadance, and time built in. It also has some great appendices with useful information condensed from the ChiRunning original book specific to racing. Hope that helps!
