There's no single "right" way to hold your hands when running, but there are definitely some general guidelines and popular options to keep in mind! Here are a few approaches:


Relaxed:


Loose fist: Imagine gently holding a small bird, just enough to keep it secure without squeezing. Keep your fingers slightly curved and your thumb resting softly on top.


Open palm: Let your fingers hang naturally, slightly cupped. Think of holding a potato chip without crushing it. This is a good option for focusing on arm swing and avoiding tension.
Structured:


CoreFist: For increased stability and strength, form a fist with your fingers stacked and relaxed, pointing slightly inward. Your knuckles should face your torso.


C-Fist: Similar to CoreFist, but extend your fingers slightly to form a diamond shape. This can encourage faster arm swing.
Visualization:


Drum sticks: Pretend you're holding drumsticks and gently tapping them on an imaginary drum as you run. This can keep your arms moving rhythmically and prevent crossing your body.


Basketball dribble: Imagine dribbling a basketball as you run, keeping your fingers loose and wrists relaxed. This helps with arm swing and coordination.
Remember:


Keep it loose: Avoid clenching your hands or holding them tightly. This can create tension and lead to fatigue.


Swing naturally: Let your arms swing freely back and forth from your shoulders, elbows bent at 90 degrees.


Listen to your body: Experiment with different hand positions and see what feels most comfortable and efficient for you.


Don't overthink it: Ultimately, the most important thing is to relax and focus on enjoying your run!
