Sprinting ceases when the "sustenance" or hunger reserves have depleted and the hunger bar begins to jiggle and go down. You can then sprint again until 3 bits of hunger remain on the hunger bar. Vaguely relevant tip: You can sprint up a half-slab staircases
Can confirm that it still happens in 1.4.4 pre-release.
In a new world, changes made near the origin of the world remained during the session, I ran 800 blocks away and modified a distinct landmark, and died. Upon respawning I could see my changes near origin, but when I returned to the landmark 800 blocks away it was untouched. I ran back to world origin and I could still see my changes at origin. I closed Minecraft and loaded the world again and only then did the area near Origin appear untouched.
This no longer happens - it has been fixed or was never an issue. I was expecting passive mobs to spawn immediately on some newly generated chunks, but there can be quite a long delay. The short rendering distance for mobs didn't help either.

@Raphael "Sometimes you run on a flat surface and you slow down for no reason" Maybe he doesn't know that, and it's the start of hunger
