I don't have a reply because it's a situation which doesn't much interest me as far as the game is concerned. Like I said, the rules don't really cater for different sorts of movement rate; there is a brief paragaragh on overland travel on p54 of the new ITL, but that's it. As the publishers have already indicated that they will not be adding rules to the system you're left to come up with something yourself if you really feel the need of it. If we had separate Strength and Stamina characteristics that would help, but we don't. It's probably simpler just to require the Running Talent for anything of that sort, since it's described as being the result of long hours of specific training in jogging etc.
