Given that everything one reads on the internet is true, it turns out that running like a ninja (on the front of your feet, arms held out behind you) allows you to 'cover longer distances without getting tired etc.' And keep in mind that this written by someone who had ACTUALLY STUDIED Ninjitsu, which is the ninja martial art favoured by 9 out of 10 ninjas.

The wonders of the human mind! That someone can think this, and yet has the mental faculties to use a complex piece of equipment like a computer to access the internet.
