Abstract
A running training aid for use by a user to provide auditory feedback on arm mechanics is provided. The running training aid includes a body strap disposed around the user's chest and back areas, a reinforcement pad coupled to a portion of the body strap, a pair of clickers detachably coupled to any portion of the body strap coupled to the reinforcement pad, and a pair of arm bands coupled to the body strap and designed to wrap around the user's arms, each arm band coupled to one of the pair of clickers. Motion of any arm of the user in a backswing direction permits the arm band attached thereon to apply a force on the clicker connected thereto, thereby permitting the clicker to generate an audible alert when the arm travels a predetermined distance.

A running training aid for use by a user to provide auditory feedback on arm mechanics, the running training aid configured to generate an audible alert when arms of the user travel a predetermined backswing distance that achieves proper arm mechanics, the running training aid comprising:
- a body strap disposed around a chest area and a back area of the user, the body strap comprising a first end and a second end detachably coupled together to secure the body strap to the user;
- a reinforcement pad coupled to a portion of the body strap;
- a pair of clickers detachably coupled to any portion of the body strap coupled to the reinforcement pad;
- and
- a pair of arm bands coupled to the body strap and configured to wrap around arms of the user, each arm band of the pair of arm bands coupled to one of the pair of clickers and configured to adjust to conform securely to an arm of the user;
- wherein motion of any arm of the user in a backswing direction permits the arm band attached thereon to apply a force on the clicker connected thereto, thereby permitting the clicker to generate the audible alert when the arm travels the predetermined distance.
