The runner was known for his quickness and speed.
In the context of movement, 'Geschwindigkeit' (speed) is often combined with verbs such as 'erhöhen' (to increase), 'reduzieren' (to reduce), 'drosseln' (to slow down), or 'messen' (to measure). The phrase 'mit einer Geschwindigkeit von ...' (at a speed of ...) is also very common.
Der Fahrer musste seine Geschwindigkeit stark reduzieren.
The driver had to reduce his speed significantly.
When referring to processes, 'Geschwindigkeit' (speed) is often used with adjectives such as 'atemberaubend' (breathtaking), 'rasant' (rapid), or 'beeindruckend' (impressive). It then describes the dynamics of a development.
Die Firma wächst mit rasanter Geschwindigkeit.
The company is growing at rapid speed.

The driver maintains a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
