arm swing efficiency finally clicked after 18 months — and everything changed

I've been training Running for 18 months and the moment arm swing efficiency finally clicked was a turning point. Before that I was going through the motions. After, the whole game opened up.

My coach breaks things down well and has a good understanding of periodisation, which made the difference. The community at the gym is genuine — no ego, everyone remembers being a beginner. trail running scenery was something I never expected to get from a sport like this. One honest note: overtraining temptation before a goal race. Factor that in from day one.
