1 is the correct proverb.
3 - 8 are similar, but not identical in meaning. 3, 4, 5, and 6 mean the same thing -- that he ran without stopping for anything. (I think this is actually impossible! No one can run constantly for the rest of his life!!)
7 and 8 imply that he ran frequently, perhaps every day, but not continuously.
