Blend walking and running by speed so the feet do not slide or hop

Mixing a slow walk and a fast run for in-between speeds looks wrong when the two cycles have different lengths: the legs fall out of step and the character seems to skate. Here is the way to mix them so every foot lands together.

Why this works

Feet slide when the legs move at a different pace than the ground, and they hop when two walks are out of step. One shared position in the stride, used by both clips, keeps the feet in agreement, and the pace of the stride follows the speed on the ground.

When not to use it

Don't use it for movement that is not a repeating stride, such as a limp, a crawl, a dance or an animal that gallops in jumps. Their feet land in different patterns. Switch between separate clips there, with a short fade.
