Keep the arms, and just add another set of human legs. Similar to a centaur, but no horse parts. Probably would have to gallop. Is there a rule against this?

I don't know, my third "leg" really gets in the way when i run.

The problem isn't the number of legs. The problem is their orientation. Human legs are "backwards" forcing us to essentially fall forward in order to run (because our knees are mid-leg) whereas all fast running animals have their orientation reversed (ankles at mid-leg) allowing them to directly "spring" forward with each stride (witness the ostrich).

Our legs are hardly "backwards". It's differences in bone length that make our legs appear different.
Of course we'd be faster with four limbs made for running but we wouldn't be human anymore.
There are plenty of fast running animals that don't spring forward with every stride. Bears probably being the most obvious.
I don't see how having an extra pair of legs would classify you as non-human. You may end up in a freak show, but I don't see why you couldn't enter a race and smoke the field. I'm all for it.

Really? You figured that out all by yourself?
