OP is right - I checked

Firstly run - I ran from Gran Soren gate as far as I could towards Cassardis until completely exhausted. Strider with 2085 stamina.

Without leg-strength
 * Light - made it to the bush where the goblins jumps out
 * Very Light - made it to the front of the gate (portcullis) with the lever in Moonsbit pass

With leg-strength
 * Light - made it to the gate
 * Very light - made it past the gate, and up the path to nearly the first harpy roost from Gran Soren.

-conclusion - there is an ultra-light class for stamina consumption when running. (I tested multiple times there and back - with and without sinew makes no difference, except changing the thresholds for Encumbrance)

- Also tested for jogging (ie not sprinting) - I did laps of Gran Soren Fields - and timed it

Without leg-strength
 * Over encumbered - 61 seconds
 * Very Heavy - 61
 * Heavy - 54
 * Average - 48/49
 * Light - 43/44
 * Very Light - 41/42

With leg-strength
 * Over encumbered - 54 seconds
 * Very Heavy - 54
 * Heavy - 48/49
 * Average - 42/43
 * Light - 41/42
 * Very Light - 40

Conclusion - leg strength works and there is an "ultra-light" category for non-running movement speed.

I tested multiple times - it confirmed what I already knew - that there's very little difference between light and very light - in terms of movement speed - but there is a difference - as you become more encumbered the slow down gets worse. The benefit to movement speed from being "ultra-light" is minimal - but it is real.

Guy on gamefaqs gave no numbers - quote " I was subconsciously counting slightly slower when timing myself with leg strength then without so that leg strength would get a faster clock time because I wanted to be right and validated in regards to leg strength doing what I though" .. etc - didn't even use a watch to time it - nope sorry.
