    Fredrik, your wit and humor and logic are overpowering! I'm loving your videos and more importantly _how_ you communicate your ideas with humor, irony, and science. You are a genius teacher, my man!

    Happy I came across this video 👍🏻 For years I’ve been a bit embarrassed about my elbows moving all 'wrong' - convinced of waisted energy. But it’s just natural to me. Instead I’ve found that relaxing shoulders and arms is a much better focus.
    Du lager kvalitetsvideoer Fredrik. Blir bare litt svimmel av den treveggen i bakgrunnen 😅

    I tried running with my elbows out while on the treadmill and I could feel the rotation more in my torso when I was running and my breathing was better. It also seem like I had more power in my legs while running. Next I will try doing this running outside.

    Coach how about the rotation sideways of the trunk, is it bad?

    To my knowledge it's very little to do with where your elbow is positioned but rather on what plan your arms are moving. Of course lots of dynamic movements. I had a peer in youth track who would run with her elbows out. No problem. But the motion of her arm would bring her hand from roughly the top of her hip to the opposite side shoulder. As she got more tired throughout a 5K her shoulders and head would slightly turn left to right and back to facilitate the movement. I suppose that is the extreme that brings about this dogmatic saying.

    Running = two legs driving forwards while hips rotate, feet pronate, landing forces dissipate etc. Meanwhile, a balancing act on top for stability in 3 dimensions. It's too reductive to say elbows should be rigidly close to the body - they should move in whatever way best facilitates the overall stride. At the other end of the extreme, elbows should not be flailing outwards uncontrollably either. Almost every debate in running form ends up this way - reductive advice made with good intentions as a useful cue, popularised by running media or folklore, that is then later contested and causes controversy as it doesn't apply to everyone - e.g. overstriding, pawback, hip angle, shoulders down & back, arm drive, forward lean angle, elbows, zero drop/barefoot, systematised "pose" running, "chi" running. All could be useful for some individuals but can all be criticised at the extremes.

    Whoever told you that and claimed to be an engineer should be ashamed of themselves. Torque from the rotation is much more effective. Lookup “spinal engine” theory by Serge Gracovetsky
    That engineer must have graduated from a very lame university.
