In today's wild animal kingdom, running is used only as a survival gait. Dr Lovejoy said he doesn't know of any animal that runs more than 3 minutes at a time in its natural environment.
....... it is apparent that we are misusing the running gait when we employ it for prolonged periods of exercise.
