run like this
Don't land on your heel if you can help it.
Don't take your knees forward past your hips until you are used to this technique.
Keep level, don't bounce.
Use your calf muscles to keep your heels just off the ground.
Use your hamstrings to propel you.
You will run at about 2/3s your normal fast running speed and your legs will have to oscillate about twice normal running speed but you will be able to run all day like this without tiring.
Test it for free! I am NOT a runner but I would be totally wrecked if I had to run in a normal gait for 2 kilometres. However with this gait I could run for 2 hours.
This is a handy thing to know for when you do have to run.
BTW, ever notice how children can run any old how but if you saw an adult running and they were not wearing the appropriate sports gear then you would automatically assume there was an emergency somewhere or they were a criminal making a getaway? Go figure.
