Another thing of note, someone on another thread started a rumor (lie) that Palmer was not her coach. I started wondering if someone else stepped in, since it seemed Palmer was back in Florida. It turns out Palmer called around to find Valby an Arc Trainer with the moving arms.
Valby confirmed she prefers the model with the moving arms because the other model takes to much out of her legs. I think this lends credence to the idea that Valby’s running mechanics are influenced, in part, by the many hours on the Arc Trainer. So she has definitely brought something new to the table in the development of an elite runner, and it has worked pretty well, so far.
