In my personal experience, being short is an aid to running. Usually, compared to taller people, you have less weight to lug along, and all the short people I know (including myself) can run for long periods of time, albeit slightly slowly. Tall people tend to run in "bursts" of speed, from what I've seen. The same thing could be the case for Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. Endurance is certainly more important than speed in their case.
