    once you’re up to a steady speed it doesn’t make so much difference.

    [Citation needed]. You’re still fighting gravity so being lighter makes each step easier. There is also less air drag (but I don’t know how much difference this makes).

      You do have more momentum to counteract the drag, though. I wonder if the decreased mass would be offset by the decreased surface area.
