"I do it exactly the same way, save that I can't run so fast."
How should I reword it using "were it not" and "only"? These are my attempts:
I do it exactly the same way, only I can't run so fast.
I do it exactly the same way, only that I can't run so fast.
I do it exactly the same way, were it not that I can't run so fast.
I do it exactly the same way, were it not I can't run so fast.
Could it be "was it not"?
I found this on the web, but I don't understand it:

I don't get the sample sentence. Does "no way" mean "in no way" here? What's "move" here?Were it not for, or If it were not for, leaving out of

consideration can no way move the sensible appetite, were
it not for the will." --Sir M. Hale.
