How do I get a character from running in place to moving forward?

Ok so I made a character run in place and have about 60 frames of animation for that. Trouble is now Im not sure how to move him forward without the slidy feet. Is it a good idea to move him forward with his global or "all" controls? I tried doing that but of course i am not able to move him forward accurately with the naked eye so the distance is off everytime. I was reading about this earlier somewhere else and someone was explaining that I'd have to go to the graph editor and set some keys to linear or something to get rid of sliding but they werent too clear and Im not that good with the graph editor. Can someone provide a better explanation? Or maybe an easier alternative to moving the character forward so I don't have to reanimate it to get rid of sliding?user added image
