What Does Your Arm Swing Say About Your Form?


Listen Later

If you wan to run more efficient, improving your running form is the first place I would start. When you tweak and improve your form, your running economy improves, your injury risk is lower, and you can improve your performance faster.

But trying to improve your running form can feel overwhelming. You may have even thought: Where do I even start? How do I know the new cue is even helping?

Whenever I help someone improve their form, I always work top down- analyzing their head, shoulders, and arm swing first. A runners arm swing can say so much about what is going on with the rest of the body because your arms control your legs.

In today's episode, we are talking about mistakes runners make with their arm swing that is effecting the rest of their form.  When you can start to use your arms correctly, your running will feel more in sync and effortless!
