Comments[edit]

Hey! Slow Down!! I am trying to create this page and meet the stringent WikiStandards. Itis only my thrid page so cut me some slack. If there is anything I can do to improve it let me know.Riwo (talk) 04:59, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I think I have gotten the voice to be nuetral and made this article not such an advert. Please let me know if there is more I can do. I will work on citations for this article and linking to it.Riwo (talk) 04:59, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am trying to work on the language of this article to make it more neutral. I don't really understand how it is any different than the articles on Total Immersion or Barefoot running which I copied to create it. If anyone has input I would appreciate it.74.66.241.191 (talk) 16:53, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

References[edit]

Three of the citations used in this article are to commercial websites. Then need to be replaced. One reference is already dead. Dger (talk) 19:03, 11 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relaxing muscles of lower extremity[edit]

This is ridiculous. If the leg muscles are relaxed the runner would collapse after the first landing. The only possible relaxed muscles are the ankle muscles during swing but these muscles must be activated before and during landing to stabilize the ankle joint, dissipate the landing forces, and then provide mechanical energy at push-off. In addition, elastic storage and recoil is NOT possible with a relaxed muscle. It must be actively stretched to store energy unless the muscle is stretched far beyond its normal range.

While I agree with you, I don't think the proper way to address all of this is through sources that do not directly address ChiRunning. The article is woefully lacking "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". If the subject is notable, primary sources are notable to some extent but dubious claims should have in-text attribution (e.g. "According to Dreyer..."). Statements and assertions that are not properly sourced should be scrapped. Location (talk) 19:32, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Per the above, I have replaced the uncited information in the "Technique" section with information from a reliable secondary source. Location (talk) 21:42, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Nelson Mail article[edit]

For future reference: It appears as though a writer for the Nelson Mail used a section from this version of the article in an October 6, 2011 editorial. Location (talk) 23:35, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
