Don't just step onto the wall to begin the wall run. It is called wall "running" for a good reason! Plus, if you just step onto the wall from the ground, you won't have enough force to drive you up and along. You need to jump onto the wall if you can.
Starts with your hand placement on the wall edge. Get your palms on top. You need the right leverage to push you up. Torso and mid area should be tense.
