in some movies you see the zombie as a runner, something that since is already dead doesnt need to stop, except when eating people.Then you have the shuffling zombie or the RomeroZOMBIE they kind of scramble to their food like a wounded animal,BUT what is more horrifying the Runner or the RomeroZOMBIE?

Well with the letters that were sent out lost zombies sent a copy of 48 days later and told us that the zombies have the same traits as the ones in that movie and they could run in that so I guess they can run.
I agree, they most definitely can run, but would decay over time slowing them. Also the fact that they would not have sustenance would slow them as well. Remember them lying in the gutter in 28 days later?
If they were just bitten and died they probly wouldn't slow for a long time because one bite is all it takes to be infected, but that is not enough for you to start to decay.
I agree with your conclusion and add that there may be a possibility for zombies exerting themselves beyond normal human limits during the initial stages of infection. Infection may trigger some sort of hormone cascade that's like a super adrenaline rush. If the skeletal muscles dont regenerate as they do in humans, then a burst of activity such as this would effectively cripple a zombie shortly after. This might explain for unexplainable accounts of zombies "flying" or crawling up walls.
I maintain a position of alternative plausabilities when regarding the nature of zombies, specifically their metabolism and pathology of infection. The standard definition of undead may take a backseat to cold hard reality, but the truth is little reliable first hand scientific information is available, and what there is still remains to be confirmed. Varying accounts are reported all the time. The infection itself is possibly even mutating.
Well, zombies do slow down with decomposition. (Like already stated)
But the slow zombies will be scarier due to the more slowly appearing, and the psychological breakdown of the incessent moans.
The moaning has been told to be the ultimate zombie weapon against trapped humans.
i say when they first turn the run but after a while when they start to rot they shuffle
I vote for the runner. In the new dawn of the dead, the performance of the zombies was great. Like the girls husband who ran out the front door and then spotted the neighbor and just took off. That is scary. Shuffling zombies are scary to, nut not like the runners.
