In Russian, all verbs can have 2 aspect forms – imperfective and perfective. Aspect indicates whether an action was successfully completed (perfective) or not (in this case, we use imperfective aspect form).
With the help of prefixes, unidirectional Russian verbs of motion regularly form verbs in perfective aspect denoting “start of action”
(побежать = to run, поехать = to go, пойти = to set off, to start walking) or
“spatial relations” (выбежать = to run out, добежать = to run to / to reach, перебежать = to run across, отбежать = to run off).
The latter regularly form specific pairs of verbs in perfective / imperfective aspect (перебежать — перебегать, добежать — добегать, отбежать — отбегать).
Verbs of multidirectional movement also form prefixed verbs in perfective aspect, but with some additional shades of meaning, for example, meaning of time (походить:
Я походил по центру города и вернулся в отель
I walked around the city center and returned to the hotel (action is limited in time)
or the result of the action (добежать:
Я добежал на вокзал за 5 минут до отправления поезда
I ran to / reached the train station 5 minutes before my train departure).
