When I was little some older girls (I can't remember who) came over to my house and they could run really fast. Me and my next door neighbour were amazed, when we ask what made them run fast they told us that keeping your hands open (like a karate chop) made you run fast then clenching them in a fist, because you cut through the air. Very Aerodynamic - not quite enough to run like the flash tho... mind you I still do that today when I'm sprinting!
