Check #2: Arm Swing
You can actually generate a whole lot of extra power through your arm swing, says Diano. "An efficient arm swing maximizes your momentum as you're being propelled forward—helping your save energy." Maximize that effect by gently holding your hands in a fist. As you're running, visualize that you're placing your hands in your pockets and driving your elbow back. The bend in your elbows should be somewhere between 60 to 90 degrees, meaning your forearms should point slightly down towards the ground. As you can see in this photo, my bend is about 82 degrees, so I'm doing A-okay!
Tweak your form to be more efficient and less injury-prone.
