The running "game" on the Wii Fit doesn't use the balance board
either. It uses the motion sensor in the remote. You put the
remote in a waist pocket for this. On a related note, Nintendo
has announced the Wii Fit Plus at E3. It has new games
(one lets you pretend to be Mario) and it also has a finger pulse
monitor.
To bring it back on topic, Natal looks like it could have quite a bit of
latency. This would not be surprising, given how computationally
intensive the recognition software must be. If true, that would drive
me crazy.

No the one from EA Sports you ruin in place. (No footpad) it has a
sensor that attaches to your thigh along with the other two sensors
that tracks full body movement.
You have to remember this does not use the Balance Board from Wii
Fitness. It is a totally separate game.
Here is a web link that explains what all Ea Sports Active does.

In a similar vein they are also coming out with Tiger Woods Golf 10
this summer that includes a new motion sensor for playing games.
It is supposed to be much closer to real life motion.
So if you are a lousy golfer in real life you will be a lousy golfer
on Tiger Woods (in my case this is the description)

I think the Wii one can only assume you are 'running' because of your
movement on the footpad. The natal appears to be the Wii for full
body, not
just hands and feet. It's a full body motion sensing system.
