These are big animals but still can outsprint a human. A average black rhino weighs 3000+ lb but can still run at 35 mph, an elephant can hit 28 mph even at 13,000 lbs. Usain Bolt could at most reach 22 mph.
Is it possible we've been thinking incorrectly all this time?
What if we were to increase our weight? Would we go faster?

I'll give you a couple of hints. We are not Rhinos, and you can't defy physics.
I don’t know if Kipchoge actually said “impossible is nothing” though he does like to say “No human is limited”, but he is clearly literally wrong about that. Just ask Bekele.

Those animals can indeed run fast for short distances, which doesn’t contradict our understanding of muscle mass as being good for sprinting but not distance.
There are heavier creatures that can outrun humans even at distance running but that’s because distance running efficiency is not predicted by just weight, but rather by the totality of physiology, eg leg muscle mass relative to body (advantaging four legged creatures), perspiration or lack thereof, heart muscle size and power, presence of feathers (helps ostriches), muscle fiber composition, fat percentage, etc., and humans can’t change most of those parameters (except within a modest range) by training or nutrition.

Sprinters don't carry bulky weight so it does contradict all understanding of the need for large amounts of muscle mass. Do you think if Bolt increased his 24.5 BMI he would have been faster?

You're thinking about this all wrong. The fastest land animal is the cheetah.
