Well there's a few important things here regarding that. First, that you're almost always in armor, which lowers stamina regen- Wear light or even no armor, and you can sprint a lot longer. Wearing heavy armor will tire you out rapidly.
Second is that there is a skill you can buy that increases stamina regen while sprinting, which lets you sprint even longer.
Third is that you are
Sprinting, Not
Running- Even olympic sprinters have trouble keeping up sprinting speeds for 100 meters, And 400 meters is the longest sprinting event- but they dont keep top speed through it which, imo, is only questionably a sprint.
Fourth is that you're always carrying at the very minimum a hotbar worth of items, which, objectively, would weigh and slow you down and make it harder to keep any kind of proper form while sprinting, which would make it that much harder to manage for long distances.
Of these, the two most notable are the first and third. Armor impacts your mobility greatly- those -mobility and -stamina regen stats make a difference; And that you're Sprinting, not Running. Your normal non sprinting movement is your jog/run, There is no 'walk'
