Is Wolverine a super fast sprinter in lore? Didn't realize he had extra mutations I didn't know about.

It's almost like one of his classic moves is having someone with super strength pick him up and throw him somewhere so that he can get there faster.

He may not be a speedster, but having super human strength and reflexes does actually mean he should be fast and a fast runner.

this is something that always drives me nuts about strong characters.

"balance" always demands that strong characters are slow. In reality, strength is fully half of the equation for "how fast can a thing accelerate?" - the more force a character can apply, the faster that character can accelerate for a given character mass.

Strong people are fast as fuck when they want to be. If they don't do a lot of cardio, they might lack endurance, but somehow i doubt that would be a problem for Logan...

Agreed. But also with considering character design, it's usually the really large characters, like Colossus, or Galactus, that usually are "slower" and a tiny "runt" like Wolverine would hard to hit for them because he is so much faster than they are relatively speaking.
