Coach Danny Dreyer joins The Nation to help us understand running economy and biomechanics. Danny is the creator of the popular ChiRunning (and ChiWalking). He teaches us that good alignment and posture will allow you to become more efficient and reduce the number of injuries. Some things we discuss:

• The 4 gears of running- check out this video that shows the same cadence at different speeds
• Mindful Practice
• Good posture and alignment
• Gradual Progress
• "run until you can't, walk until you feel guilty"
