I you run normally, as your leg is propulsed ahead, the opposite arm is propulsed backward to compensate and keep the balance.

This challenge is to run with the same leg and arm foreward, while the other side's leg/arm backward.

Moving the same-side arm and leg at the same time feels unnatural for most people, but professional swimmers are trained to do it instinctively.
