Thats what I thought too but I ready somewhere in this forum that arms are a necessity for running and I was thinking it would actually increase my speed.

Yes, arms are a necessity to running.....running without arms would be difficult.

our coaches make sprinters and distance runners do arms drills every single day. 90 degree angle, cheek to cheek, slow-fast.

wow I'm really getting beat up tonight.

you shouldnt be, some people just jump at the oppurtunity to be an ass. arm drills are legit, especially for sprinters.

HXC does take every chance he gets to be ignant.

So does trackaholic so I don't know what he's talking about.

Chill out.

I was just pointing out that it really had nothing to do with the subject of the topic.

I agree, I did arm drills 3 times a week during sprinting, and it helped my form tremendously for distance. If anyone here runs faster than a 52 second 400, please tell I'm wrong. Please.
