In this edition of the A Mile with Me podcast, a conversation with Danny Dreyer, founder of Chi-Running about the philosphy, benefits and next stages in the programme. Its been described as "the most exciting and revolutionary book to hit the running community this decade" by Toby Tanser, author of "Train Hard Win Easy". Danny shows us how we should emulate the speed and grace of the Cheetah by focussing on inner strength and flexibility of our core muscles in our trunk and spine and less on bulking up our legs. Danny's work has helped hundreds of thousands of people become more injury free and "glide" rather than "pound" the streets.
We also talk about Danny's forthcoming Chi-Running Marathon training programme.

Another form of Inner Strength is demonstrated by Nelson Mandela who has not only forgiven his enemies but embraced them and helped forge a future together. Join me at Hyde park in London for his 90th Birthday Celebration concert and hear words of wisdom from the great man.
I'm on a couple of runs in the countryside an villages of the Avon and Stour Valleys and find out along the way in what race I survived longer than Louis Hamilton and why there are some strange new residents in the village of Holdenhurst. The above photo is taken on my cycle in the podcast and shows the Avon Valley from the top of St Catherines Hill with the Isle of Wight in the distance.
