60 Min Run (Light) --162--

LOS FELIZ -- Did the Hollywood route, which loops down toward Hollywood Blvd and back. Really focused on the long pace and, again, on the arm swing.

This run helped actually solidify my unifying theory of running...and most things. Like karate, it is mastering the delivery of power from a position of balance. And if you aren't balanced in running, you're powering through concrete. And you can't run through concrete.

Long story short, the arm swing is helping tailor the balance on the form. The delivery of power comes from regular training and knowing the pace. But the balance is the key. It is what allows the true efficient delivery of power to occur. It really is a lot like karate. But there isn't really an opponent for offensive moves...or maybe the opponent is the course...or the self! Or man. Chew on that stizz.
