It does matter
I have never been a fast runner. So, it has taken some work to ensure I stay to ref the rebound, yet still get to the other end in time. At this point I've had recent feedback that I'm accomplishing that goal.
Still, I had an evaluator level with me on the appearance. I had a couple of quirks in my running that made me look slow, regardless of my actual speed. (Just what I needed!) He made some suggestions, and I'm trying to be consistent with the fixes.
He also commented on the extra weight I carry. That too will make me look slow. How much extra do I have? About 10-15 lbs. Actually, a couple fewer by now.
It all makes a difference.
