Whilst I can’t say it was a regular occurrence it was certainly practised on Wessex III, V and Sea King. And running landings for that matter as well, as well as practising OEI, tail rotor issues etc. In fact a certain RN Wessex III squadron had a contest going for a while for maximum run on speed until someone ( nameless ) over cooked it and ran on… fortunately on to the grass and no major damage done. That, however, was the end of that.
As for technique, it is as the foregoing experts have described. Certainly less torque required than a hover IGE.
