TRACK SECRETS
By Sol Metzge
In Distance Running.

Because soldiers are sometimes
given jogging exercises with their
fists held against their chests, many
young runners gain the impression
that this IS the proper way TO hold
the arms when training for distance
races. That is wrong. Such q posi-
ton for the arms is not natural
one Additional and unnecessary effort
must be expended to hold the arms in
this position. Neither can they be
used to help ones stride by swinging
them back and forth in the direction
the runner is going. as the runner on
the left is doing in the above illustra-
ton. His arms swing naturally at
his sides position requiring no eff
fort on his part. and he actually adds
to his stride by pulling with them.
That is the way to run.
