I have yet to write a fanfic that explains how Doomguy can run fast:
spoiler - highlight to read:
In the story, he is demoted to sub-vice-private and is turned into Sgt. Kelly errand-boy, doing all sorts of menial tasks like sweeping floors, delivering packages etc. At least, he was issued a sort of all-terrain "Mars Moon" scooter to quickly travel between the various UAC bases in order to deliver packages quickly, lug his janitor gear etc.
When the shit hits the fan, he was just returning to the Hangar after such a "mission". He finds himself the sole survivor in the base, he thinks that it's a wonderful opportunity to clear his name (and perhaps reach Sgt. Kelly's office and destroy the documents reporting his demotion before they get sent back to Earth. In that way, and with no witnesses, it will have never officially happened). Armed with the gun from the dead marine in front of him, and the mobility of his super-janitor Mars Moon scooter, he sets forth on his mission. The rest, as they say, is legend.
This explains very well the speed achieved (analyzed to death to be about 12.5 mph/25 mph for walking/running and 45 mph for wallrunning), comparable with a moped, and his terrain negotiating and movement limitations.
