Can someone help me with running?

[Shredergenetix]

Ive watched multiple tutorial vids on youtube, read posts on the hub and forums, and other sources on the internet. I simply cannot make it past a second step, observing all different sources I have tried all different things i.e. extending/contracting pecs in accordance to the step, extending abs to try to straighten out to make smaller steps, messing with ankle positioning, etc. After the second step I'll either fall over, miss the step completely (after messing with it trying something different) or launch myself and make the next step impossible to land correctely. Any help would be appreciated. Thank all in advance.

Have you tried watching this tutorial?
Also I am sure there are multiple more in depth tutorials than ones found on YouTube, you just have to do a little bit of digging in out tutorials subforums.

Yes I have watched that one and I will do more digging

No amount of digging will help. There's no "magic bullet" to running properly. You either can, or you can't. And, like 99% of the people here, including myself, you probably can't. Running on two legs is an incredibly complex problem that takes most people over a year just to learn the basics of in real life, so why would it be any different in game?

My recommendation: Don't even try running until you're at least a 2nd Dan Black Belt, with a thorough understanding of your tori's major muscle groups and how they affect movement and balance. Before you ask, no, I'm nowhere close to achieving this milestone.

This one is the most extensive running tutorial the community has:

Starting with tutorials like the one Chaos linked, that give a run of exactly what joints to move when, is your best bet if you started relatively a short while ago.
Overall make sure the you set the gravity to -30 (type /set gravity 0 0 -30) and practice a lot in free play.

thank you all for your suggestions and comments, I will definately practice more, I found that on the second step, if I hold one of my knees (the one that will be landing the next step) It helps, I just have to find out how many/what the frame interval should be set as.

If you press Shift+Space it'll advance only 1 frame. That way you don't need to worry too much about what turn frames are set to!

Oh I didnt know that, thank you for the advice.

Same problem. No matter which tutorial I watch, the run goes wrong at the 2nd/3rd step.
