If you do this, I'll do that
In Japanese, how do you say "If I you run here, I will run there" or something similar?
Is it "あなたはここに走ったら私はあこに走ります”?
How do you construct conditional statements?

There are a few ways of making condtional statements in Japanese. In this case, it is called the "tara" form. It means when/if A happens, then B happens. The sentence construction is like this:
Verb A (past tense + ra) + second Verb B (masu/mashita)

Both たら and なら are possible in this case.
あなたがここで走ったら、私はあそこで走ります。
If you run here, then (after you) I will run there.
あなたがここで走るなら、私はあそこで走ります。
If you will run here, I will run there.
-If you use "X たらY", X should happen before Y.
If you use "XならY", the order doesn't matter. X and Y can happen at the same time.
-'over there" is あそこ , not あこ.
-The particle before 走る is either を or で , but not に.

BTW, http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar/conditionals
explains all the conditional forms (the -tara in Liv's answer, the -nara in Yamy's answer, and two more).
