I think you should watch some videos of different runners. Have a look at their pace, their body posture, and their body movement. These 3 parameters can vary a lot and are dependent of each other.
1. Pace: your runner has a kind of jogging pace, quite slow for a run. A real run would be much faster, it can go up to only 3 - 4 frames per step (at 24 FPS) with Usain Bolt.
2. Posture: your runner leans forward like for a much faster run, but this doesn't match the pace. Fast = lean forward, slow = upright.
3. Body movement: at that given pace your runner should really jump visibly up and down at each step. Again, Usain Bolt doesn't move his head much up and down, he's too fast for that, only his hips do the main movement.
You can combine the 3 parameters to express different runs: relaxed jog, catching a bus, escaping some baddies.

This is what I see: the strides don't seem long enough, and the trailing foot seems to move too slowly in the forward direction.
Still, nice work. There's a lot of good stuff going on in there.
