EGW POINUW hOUTWS TRECW hWS OUK ADHLWS hOUTWS PUKTEUW hWS OUK AERA DERWN.
BDAG has ADHLWS as 'uncertainly' or 'not aimlessly' i.e.not as one who has no fixed goals. p 19. I don't think you could get away with 'secret'
So to answer your first question I think it goes something like
"therefore I run in this manner not as one who has not goal, I box in this manner not as one beating the air."
