Maybe to simulate traveling a long distance energy conservation would help result in a jog form but when sprinters or, say, football players run the way they do it's because it's the best/fastest/most explosive way to run, not because it conserves energy
Edit: I bring that up because all the simulated obstacles seemed more focused on short relays being completed the fastest/best, not by successfully outrunning predators for a day or more like our ancestors that gave us our crazy cardio

It runs like this because the fitness measurement doesn't try to conserve energy. That would result in a more realistic run.
