No Fall-Stagger: Hold the up arrow and wiggle back and forth with the left and right arrows while you fall to fall faster and prevent the stagger animation.  https://youtu.be/jyj6YQl9Htw

Map of all the areas

Found a Steam guide with all the maps of the game, could be useful for memorizing the routes before a run.
