What physical factors are there in place that make Ruby able to zip around faster than sight? Is she incredibly strong or something and I'm just unable to see her huge muscles? Ruby's semblance, while named as speed, is more like a sudden boost in momentum, a sort of springboard effect.

The aural speed boost is not a boost to speed itself, you are physically more powerful and thus can run faster. simple as that, not an increase to speed itself but of your ability to gain speed.
