No, everyone moves at the same speed. Must make the 100 metre dash
boring in Glorantha. ;)

As far as dumping CON goes - you may well be right as far as realism
is concerned, but in the case of mechanics, STR is already an
extremely useful ability score (determining damage bonus, what weapons
you can use, agility skills, manipulation skills, and fatigue) -
adding in disease resistance, holding your breath, hit points, and
everything else that CON does may be pushing things a bit far.
