 to get more movement? Most warriors will have a 15 strength at least; I
 don't have the statistical table handy, but isn't 15 on 3d6 (1 die
 default) about a 75% sucess rate?

Yeah, but if you try to default sprinting while wearing any kind of armor, the
check is that much higher.  As per the sprinting errata I have, your sprinting
check is modified by the same number of dice that your agility is modified.
On top of that, you also have a STR penalty when wearing plate mail.  So in
leather or chain, 3d6 for the default.  In plate or heavier, 4d6.  Sucks, huh?
