Barry is only fast, when he uses the Speed force. But he isn't always using it, that's why he can be shot by Cold, when he isn't expecting it, because he isn't using it. If Barry wouldn't be able to not use the Speed force, he wouldn't understand anything, cause everyone wouldbe too slow for him, he would be stuck in a super-super-super-super-super-slow reality and couln't do anything. That's why even the Flash can be surprised and hit by normal people, like Snart.
