Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Move: running fast requires focusing the head forwards and pumping the arms.
- Move: running fast requires driving from the balls of your feet.

Common misconception
Pupils move with limited or incorrect arm action such as punching their arms forwards. Pupils often run flat footed and look around at others while running instead of focusing forwards.
Tell pupils to run with pumping arms (pump backwards to propel forwards). Tell pupils to run with their head focused forwards and on the ball parts of the feet.
