There is no single prescription for efficient running; we are all put together
differently. There are general principles of body form that can be applied to all
runners. Be sensitive to your own structure and abilities and never force a
particular running style on yourself that doesn't feel right. Keep the top of your
hands up, not to the side, and wrists relaxed and floppy. Let your legs lead and
your arms follow your leg motion. Your hand can rise as high as the middle of
your chest and back as far as the seams on your pants. Most or your arm movement
should be in the lower arms; the upper arms should not move very much. Practice
in front of a mirror. Don't try to run with your arms, just let them relax and
follow the rhythm of your feet.
