Run Cycle - Critique Needed

[robcat2075]

I am a student at the Art Institute of Vancouver and this is a class assignment of a 24 frame run cycle.

24 frames seems a bit long for a run cycle, but if that's the assignment... you've got him loping along rather well.

Is that a different clip than used to be there? It used to be an in-place run cycle before, wasn't it?

Well, one thing I notice now is in the parts where the ground is not moving, he almost seems to slow down in mid air.

I'm guessing you are animating the character forward then, but for the in-place cycle parts you are actually animating the ground backwards.

Something is leveling out on your curves when he is in mid air, that shouldn't be leveling out.

I think it's missing some sort of up and down hip movement or maybe back and forth... either way there is something off with the weight feel of the run, almost feels like the character is gliding. Looks good for the most part.
