Who said that?
I didn't say that.
Ostriches are bigger than rheas, but they're still faster.p
I did, but I was talking canine form : ) A 150-200+ lb "wolf" is just not going to be fast.
Long legs does not mean speed. You see this often in racehorses. (My area of expertise is horses, while mielikkishunt's is dogs. You're not gonna win this debate.) Seabiscuit was a good example. "My horse is too small, the jockey's too big, the trainer's too old, and I'm too dumb to know the difference!"
Yep, I hadn't moved there, cuz most people don't know the difference between a Tbred and say a Belgian LOL
If real wolves do actually run just 45mph then a werewolf with the speed of the wolf and the human should easily outrun a regular wolf if you want to try to equally measure wolves speed, but hey again that's just me.....
Real wolves weigh
"Adult female gray wolves in northern Minnesota weigh between 50 and 85 pounds, and adult males between 70 and 110 pounds. Gray wolves are larger in the northwestern United States, Canada, and Alaska where adult males weigh 85 to 115 pounds and occasionally reach 130 pounds.
Adult female red wolves weigh 40 to 75 pounds, while males weigh from 50 to 85 pounds.

Were's at the least are going to double that mass, at the most, they're going to triple that mass. More mass means more energy to move it, more energy to get to any speed, more excelleration. Mass with the body build of an endurance animal equates to not as much speed as you want.
saber werewolves in gestalt are much slower because they weigh about 300 to 500 pounds (an estimation) so they would be pretty slow
Geez, those'd be some fat a** werewolves. . .so, only obese people are being bitten by weres? That being out of shape would slow them down even more, if they didn't drop dead of a heartattack.
If they are going to be stronger than humans by a good stretch (and it has been established that they will be)
Nope, it hasn't.
