I've read articles that said you should use arm swing on hills to help maintain a steady rhythm. It's good to know that I can use that technique to control cadence.The Emerging Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09326865074297618379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-15990720375653861872013-09-26T18:25:18.519-04:002013-09-26T18:25:18.519-04:00OMGosh. This morning, while I was out on my run, I...OMGosh. This morning, while I was out on my run, I thought of posting in yesterday's comments here about JUST THAT, and I forgot about it once I started my own posting. Arm swing keeps pace with foot fall! It's neurologically wired into us. I ALWAYS try to encourage my balance patients to swing their arms when they walk especially the ones with gait deficits. Good catch on that! I usually increase my swing cadence and pump slightly forward of my center of gravity going up hill, and use a more measured cadence with elbow swing slightly behind me going down hill. It keeps my center of gravity from exceeding my base of support going down a steeper hill. It works!ThePetitePacerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759681534640480507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924908815112206508.post-22185805934287761292013-09-26T18:21:30.927-04:002013-09-26T18:21:30.927-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.ThePetitePacerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759681534640480507noreply@blogger.com
