The idea that you should not make large movements in different directions when running is based on the idea that movement costs energy and to be energy efficient you need to keep the range of motion down and not waste energy sideways or up and down with unnecessary arm, leg and body movements. This is of course true. But the opposite, deliberately trying to reduce these movements, can be wrong and in this video I will give you for two reasons why this is.

"The best money I have ever spent. Great mix of humour, practical technique and theory. It’s brilliant and I have been telling all my friends about it. I’ve knocked 30 secs off my average pace to 4:30 and at 53 I’m absolutely astonished how relaxed I feel running. It’s also really helped my cycling my adapting similar techniques and visualisation. Thanks so much."
