You don't, and never will be able to walk, run, sprint, with any of the methods taught...except mine. That is because the force of gravity is one of the main forces used in all our activities. The other main force for running is the force you use to toss your body off the ground at an angle to the vertical force of gravity. You hop by contracting you quads and calf muscles. Glutes and hamstrings keep the body from lurching down at landings, and do not move your legs to run. Gravity as the only force for running without also hopping, will only make you fall to the ground. The Pose Method of Running wants you to fall without hopping. Gravity makes you fall to the ground that way. On your first hop, you always fall and hop ahead of your foot on the ground. You cannot continue to fall forward that way again. The steepness of the hops are then achieved by the angle of the landing foot, behind the body's center at the waist. The farther behind center the faster you speed up. The more hops you take at your behind center speedup angle, the faster the speed you will reach. When you reach the speed that you want to hold at a steady pace, Start landing under your body's center at the waist. Check it out with five running strides forward and backward running. To speed up to run forward notice you automatically land behind your waist (center), and to run backward you automatically drop your feet far ahead of your center. Each of the five hops are faster than the previous hop. Running can never be done with any of the other ways taught. Other innovations of mine are: soft landings, posture, arm swings, breathing, developing faster reflexes and open circulation, and training methods. Also important is how to release the tension of opposing muscles. You automatically press all your muscles when you do not know the actions that make you run and the muscles to use. Gravity is a force that brings all our jumping activities back down to earth. When our hops and landings are centered (under our waist), gravity and the centered jumps makes us hop in place. When our hops and landings are off balance (landings behind center), gravity and the hops combine to make us circle up and down to keep landing a stride ahead on every hop. The first stride is done by falling ahead of your foot. All the following speedup strides are done by landing behind your waist to make each hop faster than the previous hop. When you reach the speed you want, you change your landing angles to under your center. To slow down you change your landings to ahead of center. The main muscles in the tossup are the quads and calves. If you start your first hop by landing under your body's center, you will hop slowly, because you did not keep speeding up first.
