You are the only MD that I am aware of that knows about Chirunning. I would like to begin running again. However, at 27 I drove my femur through my left socket. Had a plate and screws put in. Was told if I ran again I would wear down my joint prematurely and have to have too many hip replacements. Now at 45 I have had a replacement of my left hip(March 18, 2008)with the plate and screws still in place. I am interested in running the Chi way. Do you think this is something a person with a hip replacement could do safely? My Doctor said that I could run some if I felt it was an absolute a necessity and no races or Marathons. I figured just long enough of a run to reach thirty mins. of cardio every other day. Gradually begin and eventually my miles will increase for the same amount of time. So eventually three times a week and probably no more than 5 miles at each run, thus 15 miles a week at the most. I don't expect to sprint fast like I loved when I was younger. I just want to get in touch with that marvelous feeling I used to achieve. Do you have any comments about this? Lorelei Williams North Anson, Maine Hello Dr. Cucuzzella,

I've always believed that proper preparation starting 2 days before the marathon is as important as the race day. Also drafting and hills are an important part of the marathon and can really help out in the end. Great advice!
