Running pose reference
Real photos of people running and sprinting, caught mid-stride.
Running is fast enough that the eye cannot freeze it, so real photos are the easiest way to see where the arms and legs actually are at each point of the stride.
Angle Ref has 266 photos like these, all openly licensed and credited.

Running poses from the front
The body faces the camera, chest and hips turned square to the picture.
Running poses in three-quarter view
The body is turned about 45 degrees, so one side of the torso shows and the far shoulder and hip tuck behind.
Running poses from the side
The body is in profile, turned about 90 degrees, which shows the curve of the back and how far the limbs reach forward and back.
Running poses from behind
The body faces away from the camera: the shoulder blades, spine and the back of the legs.
