A faster pace burns more calories (for example, running vs. walking) and can turn an anaerobic activity (such as lifting weights) into an aerobic one.

However! Additional speed also puts more strain on the heart to keep up; if the person is too old, young or out-of-shape to maintain that level of activity, this can lead to heart muscle damage up to and including a heart attack.
