No. Please read up on the trait write-up:
"You can move
any object you have strength enough
to lift,
at a Move equal to your TK
level, modified as usual for encum-
brance level (see Encumbrance and
Move, p. 17)"
You can only move objects relative to the relevant reference frame at up to TK y/s, but you can accelerate them up to this velocity quite fast. If your reference frame is yourself, you cannot accelerate yourself because you are always at rest relative to yourself. So when moving yourself, you have to deal with some other reference frame than yourself.

Note that a vehicle's or character's rated air move is
after factoring in air resistance, weight of one's body etc.

You can Move up to your TK Move (which is your TK Level) per turn. In any given turn, you are free to accelerate up to your Move. You can spend another turn to accelerate to a Sprint (in a straight line).
High acceleration does not automatically assume unlimited velocity.
