    So, these aren't exact depictions of your key poses, but I've exaggerated them to kinda show my first impressions on it.

    It could be your intention, but the unrelaxed shoulders give the run animation a bit of an awkward stiffness. Just keep an eye on that. Also there's something about the way the feet interacts with the ground that gives it a floaty feeling. It might have something to do with the pacing, or the way it hesitates to plant on the ground; I'd advise basing your run on a side reference video of a jogger if you haven't already, or even take a look at some looping anims on the Mixamo viewer


    The way the upper-body shifts around, it's off balance from the character's center of gravity. I'd advise reducing that shifting or doing something with the feet to accommodate the weight shifting.


    Also I'd advise using a non-youtube format that loops the video/gif, or loop it a bit more for the youtube video, for easier CC. good luck
