You still have not addressed why you think that advice for humans is generalizable to pandas. Or why advice about horses is useful for humans.

You don't hear pandas and horses whining about their sore knees or ACL injuries.

Horses have a joint identical in structure to the human knee called the Trindle or stifle. It functions as their wrist, but in size, its an excellent training model for human surgeons.

An ostrich could out turn a cheetah and not lose traction.

Phew, that's a relief. Every time I go for a jog lately, I like to make random turns and I don't want to lose traction or torque. Plus, on the really interesting runs, cheetah's chase me, and as of late, I haven't been able to dodge them.

Also, neither a cheetah nor an ostrich could run a 10k without keeling over dead. Guys. What if we chased down an ostrich until exhastion, and then PUT IT ON THE OUTSIDE of a turducken? Osterducken!!!!!!!!!

It took you 23 pages to finally explain yourself, and you continue with obtuse, unanswerable questions, or links that prove or teach nothing.

your impatience is your undoing young grasshopper. if you seek enlightenment you must ponder the blather and absorb it into your being. only upon mastery of yourself can you then find mastery of your speed. you must improve hip movement and foot strength via oscillation of the torso through improved quasi upper body stillness and straight-line approach to effective efficient use of the body movement in a ergonomic fashion. If you still don't understand then go back and seek enlightenment again.
