As I was out running early this morning carrying a small flashlight, I recalled seeing Chris McCormack (I think it was him?) running with with two small sticks in his hands many years ago.
First of all, was it Macca? What are/were the purpose of these sticks? Just curious- thanks.
It’s a “trick” to keep your hands and arms loose when running. Tighten the hands and the forearms tighten. Tighten the forearms and the arms tighten…etc etc…

I don’t know why Macca used the sticks.
I use sticks because it gives me feedback when I try to squeeze them. The sticks make it easier to focus on running with relaxed hands/arms.
And some athletes use them against opening the hands.
You could mean Peter Robertson (sticks) also from Aus.
