You took my suggestion of having our characters run in the same animation as a
joking suggestion for a race to see who could finish a running animation first.
If so, you definitely won. When I tried it, my character's feet started flying
independently from their ankles, perhaps a function of my FK/IK system and a
rotation of the toeball pt of >90 degrees.

Very cool.  I'd just bob the hips up and down a bit: that's the only thing I'd
change.

Exactly what was ingo's reference material?
