I believe, in ASA, you have the wording "immediately" with regard to how the runner should move in whichever direction she has chosen once the pitcher has the ball in the circle....
True, but that refers to making the decision and beginning moving - it says nothing about how fast.
But does that not apply only to the look-back once the runner has come to a stop? Certainly, it does not apply to runner legally leaving the base in an attempt to advance to the next in a continual motion. BTW, there is no mention of a runner being required to "run" at any point in the game.
