Meaning and scope
Definition
Running is an action in progress of alternately pushing off the ground with the feet and moving the body forward. It does not determine sport, destination, pursuit, emotion, or person attributes.
In more detail
Separated legs, a foot leaving the ground, and a forward-moving torso make a running moment legible. Speed, place, purpose, and clothing are separate choices. It is distinct from walking or only an airborne pose.
Includes
- One person moving forward while running
- A running moment legible through leg movement
Excludes
- Walking
- A static pose
- A sport or pursuit narrative
What this does not imply
- Sport
- pursuit
- destination

- or person attributes
Variability
Stride length and direction can be adjusted separately. Keep the relation of legs to ground in frame.
