Derrick tweeted about this once, and Bekele is now being known for stretching his arms during marathons. At the lower levels, runners I know often complain abouthat being tight in this area or even visibly hunch up.
Anyone with good physio knowledge have insight? I'm curious.

To keep optimal balance for running propulsion requires shoulder stability and tension. Adds up. Just like other performance activities and workloads.

Its all about trying to stabilize the upper body and core so that it does not work against your legs. If you lock into place for a long period of time things tighten up and the more tired you get the more strain is put on those muscles.
