That's a hard task.

First, you should sketch your front walk animation, on paper or else. Only when you know which result you want to achieve you'll get ideas about how.

Second: create your character and rig it.

Third: Animate the bones, then adjust per point animation.

Anything more detailed must wait until you've decided for a style, the viewing angle, and the perspective of your scene.

Hi blubbi,
...maybe this link can help you to find out how to do it http://www.biomotionlab.ca/Demos/BMLwalker.html I often use this site for reference. It's great because you can see the figure walking from every angle. The BioMotionLab also exists for running http://www.biomotionlab.ca/Demos/BMLrunner.html
