Running

In terms of physical activity, running was an ability to move faster than one's typical gait, and exerted more energy than one's normal speed. The faster pace generated by a humanoid body's legs was useful for combat situations, winning competitive events, or simply for exercise and recreation. Time was also considered to be able to "run", as well as computer systems and programs, scans, among other things.
