ELI5: Why does it seem like you can run faster in hotel hallways?

I’ve always had the sensation that I was faster when I would run through a hotel. I still have the same feeling even when I do it now.

Because the hallway is long and narrow, it gives the effect that you are going fast because the things that are going past are really close to you. Because you cannot see a horizon beyond the wall, it appears that you are going fast.

Think of when you are driving and telephone polls are going by, they are close in comparison to things on the horizon. Despite the telephone poles going by fast the slow progression of the horizon makes you feel like you are not going fast.
