It's just a lame excuse. You shouldn't have to keep running. If you didn't jump at just the right time you would stop in the original Sonics as you ran into a wall, cliff, spikes, etc... My biggest complaint with Sonic and the Secret rings is it was so hard to stop running, or to go backwards. You could turn around in the original Sonic, I don't know why such features were removed...
I wouldn't mind it if a speed run took 3 hours. If they didn't put in so much scripted movements and made the game so easy, there is no way you could do it in that amount of time the first time through...
