Apparent Differences between Pirie's "Laws of Running", "Chi Running" and "Buteyko"
Law 2: Pirie - Springing and Forefoot strike
Chi - Lifting feet and Midfoot strike (Both options appear to have virtues)
Law 5: Pirie - Walking damages running
Chi - Chi Walking is encouraged (Chi Walking seems to overcome the problem)
Law 8: Pirie - Dont lean forwards
Chi - Lean forwards - but from the ankle (They both mean the same thing - don't tilt from the hips)
Law 11: Pirie - Static stretching causes injuries
Chi - Promotes stretching exercises (Pirie is probably correct here)
Law 12: Pirie - Running equals "out of breath" so breathe only through the mouth (Jury is out on this one...)
Buteyko - Breathe only through the nose - it's the breathing organ - increases oxygenation
