Hills of Death (HOD) Apr 2013 2:10pm, 4 Apr 2013 28,516 posts	Quote Pin Hills of Death (HOD) I'm beginning to think that one sixe doesn't fit all but if you are not streamlined you aint gonna run well. Chi running will get your distance in therefore making you fitter. I find when I'm racing taking a more POSE like stance neither of which are prefect by any stretch however people have commented I'm MER now (Landing under COG, fluid, straighter core, the head still seems a little stretched out) I could never get on with the No arm movement stuff on POSE though

jonp Apr 2013 10:08pm, 4 Apr 2013 4,468 posts	Quote Pin jonp O_o Hod, think you've mis-interpreted something somewhere. With Pose Method we simply recommend that you keep the shoulders relaxed so they naturally balance out with the legs. So arms are a natural counter-balance when you run. You need a bend in the elbow so that they swing with a good cadence. The recommendations above of not letting them swing forward too far or across the body is because they have an anatomical link to legs and hence balance out together. Reducing the range of one helps to reduce the range of the other. It's not a big focus with Pose Method, but still, your arms should swing and counterbalance not be held by the side.
