Yup, so it is possible to create a starting character, in a medium powered HW game, who can outrun a horse.
Why is this a problem?
It is also possible to create beginning HW character who can defeat two professional warriors simultaneously, fly, shoot lightning bolts from their hands, etc.
Of course, great power brings with it great responsibility - it's perfectly possible to create, without violating the HW rules, characters that just make no sense in Glorantha.
For example, a healer who 'just happens' to have a 1W5 close combat ability, without any particular background justification.
To which the only possible response is 'don't do that'.
