Here's one way:
*Pressed right - counter.val = 100
+ Counter.val <= 0.
*Every 0.10 secs - subtract 1 from counter
*Pressed right - Run, Set counter to 0
+ Counter.val > 0.
There you go! Okay here's how it works:
When you press right you start a counter that counts down from 100. If the player presses right again before this counter reaches 0 then you program the character to run. Then you just repeat the events for the left side.

100 is a bit too high tho. Surely that would give 10 seconds to tap the second time

Also, don't use Every events, use Always instead (and set the counter higher). Stops stuff messing up if your player hits Alt by 'accident'.

In these sorta things i always go with "if counter is greater or equal to 1, then subtract 1"..that way, cpu power is only used if the counter is greater or equal to one, where as the other thing makes the computer check for stuff always...

EvisceratoR: It'll check anyways, but it won't execute it, so you save 50% processing.
Counter >= 1
--Subtract 1 from counter
