I've never been hardcore about running because it is default and because people want to play the game, not watch their screen waiting for the game to finally arrive. There is still a large amount of travel time/downtime even with the modest size of the areas between towns. I don't consider it to break the feel because the fact that its a game is inescapable. We play it *because* its not real. In the not real world our characters have enough stamina to run 24/7 as long as they packed their bag economically.
