It's capped at 40 from the start, and you don't really need to
practice it as long as you're running across terrain where you
used to take moderate damage (Ro, Oasis, parts of
Butcherblock, etc). You'll gain the skill naturally just
running around these zones. You do not have to take damage to
gain skill.

I still think this cap needs to be raised at higher levels.
Oasis and North Ro can be deadly to me now if I try to run in
a straight line across the desert.
