Crazy idea that might just help running efficiency

and then you trip and bust yout face becuase you couldnt block your fall.

Here is another great/crazy idea. Stick a dildoe up your butthole. This way, you still get to enjoy the benefit of being railed up the pooper, but don't have to go out and find a guy that will actually do it for you. I think it is worth a shot.

It's not worth a shot. If you are too weak to support your arms while running you are not strong enough to be a competitive runner. If you are not trying to be competitive and just want to run for the exercise, then you shouldn't rob yourself of the exercise by running in arm-slings.

this has the makings off a great thread

that is a great idea but how am i going to reach the gatorade bottle i keep on my utility belt while i gallowalk three 13 minute miles? what do i do if i blow a spring on my nike shocks while my arms are strapped? does it come with a pouch to hold my iphone?

Oh, you need the new Apple iPhone Gallowalk accessory. The comfortable head-band has a long shaft in the front with a clip to hold the iPhone exactly two feet in front of your face. The iGWA, as Gallowalkers affectionately refer to it, comes with the latest in iPhone apps; the new app. uses the same sophisticated software that allows Stephen Hawking to control his computer with his eyes so that iGWA users can control their iPs without having to remove their hands from their special training slings. It also features a straw-holder so you can still drink from the Gatorade bottle on your utility belt! And, on the new and improved 2.0 version, there is even a rear-view mirror so you can see the faces of real runners as they are about to pass you!

what is they really tested this theory and it made you more effecient, even more so if you had practiced it.

Would it be legal?

Would you were them if they were legal?

Would good runners use them eventually?

Would Nike or some big company start making them.

I wonder how long it will be before Nike makes these slings. Subsequently, UnderArmor will copy Nike and then we will have to protest UnderArmor.

"Programmed to Run" by Thomas Miller describes a similar device. He calls it a "Swing-Rite Harness." The effect is to train you to keep you hands close to your body instead of swinging far in front of you. You can google it and you should be able to see pictures from google books.

Des Margetson (RIP), who invented the tennis bubble and won a world masters title in cross, also created something similar.

Just have both arms amputated. Less surface area for wind resistance, no effort expended in holding the arms up and you'll be running quite a few pounds lighter. Only downside is there would be no thumbs for you to stick up your ass.

It would be easy to take your arms out of the loops. That would not be an issue.

What if you put light bulbs in the pockets?

That would be silly.

Just tie the lightbulbs to your shoes.

great idea and how about a halo brace to hold up the head too? or maybe one of those thick white collar things.

So, my idea is to have like a belt around your chest that has a strap on each side for each arm

You might attract some unwanted attention with strap-ons on each side of your arm.

Ok so how many of you thought Galen Rupp when you read this?
