So don't know if anyone else has messed with this but you can travel a decent bit faster than your normal run by starting a run, immediately entering a slide, and then cancelling the slide with another dash. You can literally just keep doing this over and over again, and it gets a huge speed boost on slopes. Unfortunately however, it's still slower than using a vehicle, and it's not entirely practical for shorter distances.
I'm gonna test later today how this works with skills that give you buffs based on your movement speed, such as with Zane.
