Running technique
Keep body your as close to straight up and down as you comfortably can. Leaning forward causes wear on the back and distributes your weight oddly. Plus it limits your distance. Try and keep your stride manageable. Longer strides wear you out. If you ever watch a marathon runner they exert as little effort as possible to sustain energy. run heel first and roll your foot to the toe.
Get good shoes. Best possible thing you could do. Nike sucks ass. Reebok is even worse. Plus they both practice poor human rights in their factories in Malasia.
Go with Mizuno, Brooks or the higher end Saucony or Asics.
Good luck.
As for bike riding, well biking is for wieners that cant run.

I alternated my hands but my junk still gets numb. What am I doing wrong?
My attempt at humor was overlooked. I guess I shouldn't quit my day job.
Uh, ya know, I had just finished working out when I typed this and my brain was a little whacked - I do see the humor
Cheer biys, I just ran with this guy and he had a very straight up and down posture. I was also wondering what C I should be aiming for.
I tend to get someone else to grip my junk when I get numb hands, but often the numb hands are great as it "feels" like someone else is griping my handle bar.

I'll give one more tip on running. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you are running, adding mileage and staying injury free then don't try to alter your running stride too much. If its already working for you then stick with it.
lol...noticed that myself and took note.
I wouldn't mind getting my rep power up there. :love2:
