Customized Programs
With Tri Chi Walk & Run, all programs begin with lessons that cover all the material and lessons in the ChiRunning & Walking Clinics. Depending on race length and overall condition of student, plans can range from a minimum 6 weeks for a 5K to 6 months for a full marathon. All participants will receive a metronome, applicable Chi book and DVD, training schedule, at least two video analyses and welcome gift apparel as part of the fee.
The goal of all programs is to help you complete and manage a successful pain free distance of your choice. For especially novices, but experienced and returning athletes as well, I hope to help you begin a journey of a joyous and lifetime practice. If you are training for races of a half marathon or greater, you must be able to run at least 3 miles continuously at the start of this training.
Depending on your individual experience and needs, these programs are all customizable to fit your personal situation. Another benefit is that ChiRunning & Walking has partnered with Final Surge to provide world-class training plans. When you purchase a training plan, your plan will automatically get loaded into the Final Surge training calendar for you to use as many times as you want. Final Surge allows you to view and track your training, record distance and duration, upload data from Garmin and other fitness devices, and much more.
All workshops and instruction are available virtually.

The Chi Walk-to-Run program helps you move in the way your body was meant to. Chi Walk-to-Run is a gentle but powerful approach that makes getting fit safe, easy, and fun. Perfect for those who want to start a fitness program, lose weight, or come back from injury stronger than ever.
One of the benefits of the walk-run approach is that whether you’re walking or running, many of the technique focuses you’ll be learning are the same for both. Chi Walk-Run is a series of short runs interrupted by walking breaks. This allows your body to easily adjust to regular workouts and builds your cardio-aerobic conditioning. The goal of our Walk-Run program is to eventually get you running consistently and confidently.
