Trying to optimize my running form and running into conflicting advice about arm carriage.
This squeaky woman recommends copying east Africans and running with the hands up at the heart or even at the collar bone and to cross over the midline.

I find it most efficient to run with my arms outstretched over my head.
Nice, but this debate has been around since ancient Greece. Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City displays two prize painted vessels from 600B.C, showing sprinters (first exhibit on the left) swinging their arms through a full range of motion, and one showing distance runners with only modest swing (I must have broken it when I came to look after a race nearby, it's been replaced by chariot racing).
Ryan Hall was a great example of how not to show up with his lopey dopey stride mechanics...
I run cupping my balls.
