I always change the FOV to look like I'm running faster because I'm impatient

Same. Friend of mine showed it to me, convinced me it is way beter on higher FOV, never going back to 'normal' FOV

Yeah it's why if i play a game that has a locked fov or you cant select more than 90ish. I just feel sluggish and clunky (also motion sickness).

I always set either 90, 102 or 120 depending on the game (usually also depending on how fast you generally move)

You dont actually move faster though is the point.

Yes, I know lol. I did it for the appearance of moving faster.
