Couch to 5K support group thread

When I run, sometimes I automatically tense my shoulders and arms, and I've noticed I get these side cramps when I run like this. I need to remind myself to keep my upper body loose.

OK gotta run!

I do that! I try to periodically roll my shoulders and sort of loosen them and lower them. Imagine being a swan -- you want a long neck vs. a turtle. I also try and keep my arms lower vs. letting them get higher (more waist vs. breast). I also try not to clench my fists, but keep my fingers open.

As crazy as it sounds doing that stuff does help.

A new thread sounds like a good idea to me, we can gain new followers this way.
