I always rolled at the last second in the original anyway. Not least because responding to a horde of ravenous monsters with a ludicrously extended rolly-polly is really dumb.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't a full running speed in the original anyway. The scrabs would catch me sooner when I'm rolling than when I'm running.
