Its a bit of a compromise with running and a question of how far you go. If you go less that 300ms for a step then its possble that a rythmic vibration will look like you are stepping.
For running I think we should rely on the RUN app / GPS for accuracy. I am about to checkin a fix for the RUN app that corrects the distance calculation from the GPS.
I think if we improve the more common 'walking' and non walking cases first we can then explore the limits (eg moderate to faster running) and see how it performs.

I'd really like to find time to properly write this up and but I've already spent a huge amount of time on it already and kind of need to pull back a bit.

@HughB Thanks for the explanation, it confirms my understanding and adds a couple of details I missed.
Your spreadsheet of step speeds is at http://forum.espruino.com/comments/16122158/ - I have just realised that the range I was looking for is slightly extended (allows for faster running), so when I get back to this I am going to pay more attention to the effect of that. My own running pace, which I didn't think was that fast, falls outside of your highlighted range.
