"The running man was running along the beach. Panting, he looked over his shoulder while running and kept running away from the person he was running from."
I do the same sort of thing tbh

I try to use words that mean the same thing to give the sentences more variety. But even then, it sounds repetitive.
"He ran across the field in a burst of panic. The sprinting man was so tired and yet so terrified. His legs felt sore as he dashed. He felt as though he were bounding on for forever," So and and so forth.
Fun times as a writer.

I guess you could focus on other things besides running. Like the character's thoughts rushing, the surroundings blurring, or their arms heaving.

•♕• different words for running?? idk. maybe describe how it feels to be running, instead of just saying they are running? •♔•
