Run Injury-free

Features & Capabilities

The best-selling runner’s book, Chi Running®, is now an iPhone app that has helped thousands of everyday runners to run faster, easier, and injury-free. Created by ChiRunning founder, Danny Dreyer, this app is feature-laden with Chi Running video lessons, audio coaching, guided runs, and a built in metronome - tools for you to always run your best.

You’ll learn the technique that has taught hundreds of thousands to run relaxed, efficiently, and with less injury. For beginning runners, weekend warriors, marathoners and speed demons alike, everyone benefits from improved running technique.

You’ll practice “intelligent movement”; using good technique to save your body from undue effort and injury. Danny’s voice will talk you through Guided Runs with audio focuses played at self-selected, repeating intervals. These audio and video lessons will help you achieve your running goals; whether to start running, run a PR, complete a half or full marathon, or run for the rest of your life without injury.

Practice your technique while tracking your distance, pace, caloric burn, and mapping your routes. The workout log function allows you to track your run history and share it with friends via Twitter and Facebook.

Unique among running apps, the Chi Running® app is a complete coaching tool for improving your running technique and boosting your training.

Exceptional running for ordinary people!

User Reviews

ChiRunning is highly praised for metronome pacing, instructional videos, and in-app coaching, delivering an all-in-one toolkit that improves pace and reduces pain for about $10. However, recurring issues include stability crashes, privacy concerns about data collection, limited data tracking (no manual mileage, no audible stats), and weak third-party app integration with music concerns on some devices. Some users also request autopause and run/walk options. Overall, strong value when it works, with notable reliability and compatibility caveats.

Pros

Metronome for pacing and cadence.
Video lessons and audio coaching provide clear in-run guidance.
All-in-one package (lessons, reminders, focuses, maps, and run tracking).
Coaching from Danny and chi-focus reminders help form and motivation.
Strong value for the price; many users call it worth every penny.

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability bugs.
Privacy concerns about collecting personal data (email, age, etc).
No manual mileage entry and limited analytics (no audible stats).
Weak integration with other running platforms and sharing options (MapMyRun/Runkeeper/Garmin/Apple Health).
Audio/music integration problems on some devices/OS versions (music interruptions, control conflicts).

Recent reviews

This was exactly what I needed. I have the book, but the app really helps with putting the chi running lessons into practice. The metronome, the guided reminders, the videos…all excellent. From the very first session, it shaved 4 minutes off of my pace with no extra perceived effort.

Use this app to train for walking 5K road races. My race times are improving, almost no aches or pains, and less tired at end of training session or race.
