I’ve not seen the film yet. I wonder, if there’s no maximum speed can you just sprint ahead and then stop for a little rest?
No rest and no falling beneath below 3 miles per hour.

They have guards that shoot you if you stop.

I know, but do the guards stay with the group or will one break off and jog alongside you…

It’s been a while since I read it but the guards also there to make sure you don’t abscond. Which would probably include running ahead of the group.

It’s not about the average over time. You are required to keep a continuous pace. If you drop below spec you are given a warning. The fourth warning is a rain of lead in your body. You can lose a warning by keeping pace for one hour and you can accumulate addition warnings until mortality if you don’t get back up to speed after a given warning.
So with no warnings you have less than 40 seconds to live if you just stop.

No stopping and no falling below 3mph?

Could also be in the Saw series, you have to walk or you die, with the puppet in the tricycle following you.
