Slower Sprinters \ Joggers and Runners

Mod replaces sprinters with slower ones, they are based on default sprinters, they have the same animations, they can trip, and can grab and hold player sometimes, just like default sprinters.
Only one version can be enabled in same time.

Joggers
43% slower sprinters.
"Joggers" running speed is slower than player running speed, moderately exhausted player will still run a bit faster, highly exhausted player will have almost the same speed as joggers.
This version is more friendly to shoot, run back and shoot tactics against horde.

Faster Joggers
40% slower sprinters and 14% slower player running speed.
(Overall balance is as 30% slower sprinters, taking into account the decrease of the player running speed.)
"Faster Joggers" running speed is slightly slower than player running speed, moderately exhausted player will have almost the same speed as runners, highly exhausted players will have the same speed as runners.
In this version run back and shoot tactics against horde is still possible, but it's harder and risky if player gets exhausted.

Runners
30% slower sprinters.
"Runners" running speed is slightly slower than player running speed, moderately exhausted player will have almost the same speed as runners, highly exhausted players will have the same speed as runners.
Balance is the same as "Faster joggers" version but unlike the joggers version player have to think faster and have less time to close doors in front of chasing zombies. Fighting multiple zombies is more dangerous, run back and shoot tactics against horde is possible on higher player sprinting skill, but it's harder and risky if player gets exhausted.

Moderate sprinters
20% slower sprinters.
"Moderate sprinters" running speed is the same as player running speed, moderately exhausted player is slightly slower than sprinters, highly exhausted players is slower than sprinters.
This version is closer to the original sprinters. I recommend to train sprinting skill to have more chances.

Enable only one version!

All versions adds one trait "Sprinter" cost 10 points and give 4 running skill, this skill is mutually exclusive with "runner" trait and "Fitness Instructor" profession. (it's not cheap because gives good advantage over joggers and runners from the start, and I want it to be balanced in line with default perks. Maybe I will reduce cost later.)

(Optional) 10% slower player walking speed - This option makes fast shamblers harder too. Player's walking speed is still a little faster so you still can walk away from them. (It would be too slow if I made player walk speed slower than zombie walk. right now it is immersive, harder and optional.)
Can be enabled at the same time with joggers\runners version or without them at all.

- How mod works:

Mod changes sprinters simply by editing speed of their animation in AnimSets.
(Obviously you have to enable sprinters in sandbox settings to see changes.)

- Description of changes in AnimSets:

(Names and IDs can be a little confusing, but I wont change IDs until some big Zomboid update so not to ruin your ongoing playthroughs.)

- Compatability

• Compatable - almost with everything, for example:
  Night Sprinters, Xeph Zombie Modifications.
  (Customizable zombies compatibility is uncertain, requires doublecheck, works fine in singleplayer)
  
  
• Not compatable - with "A harder zombie mod"
  mod is not compatable with mods that edit AnimSets of sprinters pathfinding, lunge, sprint and player walk, run.
  (actually, they maybe might work with correct load order when one mod overwriting another, but not tested and not recommended if you don't know what you are doing).
  
  
• It's save compatable.
  
  
• Works in multiplayer but not tested how zombies sync between players.
  (41.65) Sprinters can't be enabled on local and dedicated server by default (devs restricting players from doing that because of sync issues), but they can be enabled using mods such as "Night Sprinters" by simply enabling day and night sprinters.
  
  
• Created on 41.65, works on 41.78.
