can't get past the prologue

So I saw that you can't sprint while holding Sarah, which i understand. The thing is I'm at the part where Tommy holds the door open and infected climb over the walls. I can't sprint and so can't outrun the infected, they catch up before i even make it half way to Tommy. I might just be stupid idk, any help?

* I'm at a walking pace, not even jogging. It's probably just my controller or something.

When Joel is carrying the girl, sprinting doesn't increase his speed very much, but it should increase his speed enough for him to reach safety. However, in this particular sequence the "sprint" button on the keyboard (left-shift) did not initially seem to work at all, so Joel kept getting killed no matter what I did. I'm not sure what I did to fix it, but I fooled around with the "Customize Controls" menu and somehow I got sprint to work even when the keys were back to the default setting. Joel still ran slowly, but just fast enough to get to safety.

(I don't know if the new hotfix fixes this because I don't know how to find and install the hotfixes)

P.S. - I've now switched to a controller (XBox wired controller in my case), and sprinting still seems buggy.
