How fast can a people run?

Answer 1

Short distance sprint: about 12-15 MPH

Long distance run: about 5-8 MPH

Though this number is extremely variable by both age, sex, and fitness level. Men are typically taller than women, thus having longer legs and have broader chests for a larger lung capacity, as well, they don't have extra weight on their chest. Typically height, lung capacity and the size of breasts come into factor.

Your usage of average can vary depending on what you mean exactly, so both top speed sprinting, and paced long distance running has been listed to answer you question most comprehensively.

Answer 2

The original answer is misleading 15MPH is world class.

Sprinting up to 100 yards - record is ~23 MPH - average ~14

Running up to a mile /1600 meters record is ~16MPH - average ~10MPH

Marathon distance record ~26 Mile/42 Km is ~13MPH/21KmPH

reasonable 9MPH 14KmPH (NY marathon qualification time)

For figuring out how fast you can get between two points these are probably better values as they assume you can actually not spend too much time recovering.

The Average walking speed is 3-4 MPH 5-6 KmPH or about 100 yards/meters per minute

Running speed sustained is about twice that 8 MPH, 12 KmPH or 200 yards/meters per minute.

Answer 3

depends on age and gender, and fitness level for example, a high school girl, that is somewhat fit will have a mile time of 7 or 8 minutes, it just depends where as a high school male student could have a mile time of as little as 5 minutes it really just depends hope that helped! -GossipGirl17
