First of all I wouldnt use morphs to animate a character. The reason is because:
1. Its a painful way to do it.
2. Morphs are linear which means the legs will shrink instead of bending.
3. Bones are better.
Once you setup bones and create a simple walk cycle all you have to do is apply cyclist to each bone that is being animated.
You can then use a null to control it all so that as you move the null forward the character runs thru its cycle based on its speed.
