Recommendations

• Stable running with asymmetric legs: a bifurcation approach
• Effective leg stiffness of animal running and the co-optimization of energetic cost and stability
• Running and walking with compliant legs
• Low leg compliance permits grounded running at speeds where the inverted pendulum model gets airborne
• Grounded running in quails: simulations indicate benefits of observed fixed aperture angle between legs before touch-down
• Stability in legged locomotion
• The leg stiffnesses animals use may improve the stability of locomotion
• Rules of nature's \textit{Formula Run}: muscle mechanics during late stance is the key to explaining maximum running speed
