ChariHow do we USE our arms in running??? 1) COUNTER BALANCE 👏 our arms swing opposite of each other so that our torso is balanced and everything can stay aligned. 2) Matching swing 👍 The faster and more explosive our legs need to go, the bigger our arms must go. 3) Increasing power 💪 when your foot hits the ground, you can add more snap to your step my using the opposite arm to “bang” on a drum as the foot hits. You will get a poppy and bouncy run out of it! Coach Poole always tells me “Cheetahs run on all fours… and so should you” ✨❤️
