FWIW, Kirkman talked about that a little bit on the aftershow last night. Basically they're capable of different speeds, never really running but as fast as a pretty good shamble. He said their mobility is based on how fresh they are, the newer the zombie, the more mobile they are.
I also thought the explanation -- which I'd read elsewhere but it was interesting to hear him talk about a little -- for why the characters on TV (and only rarely in the comic) don't say the word "zombie". In their world, the pop culture phenomenon around zombies never happened, so the things we take for granted (like head shots) aren't common knowledge to them, Romero, et al never happened in their universe.
