Something's off with my animation but what might it be?

Been scratching my head for too long on this one! Advices and crits would be gladly welcomed! Thank you.

I'm not an animator, but if I had to guess, I'd say for the speed they're running, and for the length of their stride, they're leaning too far forward. It feels awkward at the moment to me, and I think that's why.

Yeah, the trip itself is pretty convincing but the run is not.
Reference !

The trip actually looks pretty good, but I'd focus on practicing your run cycles for now. Create a whole bunch of different runs that look good to you, and then once you're comfortable with creating them, start adding additional animations like trips and such. Keep it up!

Thank you for your help! Will focus on correcting this then!

Following your advices, I corrected the legs so the stride looks more convincing.

Nicely done! I´ll have to add two things myself(hopefully I´m not to late). First off, something that I noticed immediately was that the feet are very stale. You should add some movement into them. I mean the ankles and the toes. Second thing is, she seems to stay in the air for a bit to long. Doesn´t seem to follow the gravity of earth and I think that makes it look a little uncanny. Otherwise really nice. Keep up the good work.
