How fast can the average human run?

Answer 1

It depends on the individual and how fast he or she is running. Let's take the example of a runner who is capapble of running a 4 minute mile. For the record, that's not me. I might be able to finish the mile in ten or fifteen minutes, and I'd probably need help. A mile is 5,280 feet. Running that distance in 4 minutes is the same as 240 seconds. Dividing 5,280 by 240 means that the runner is running 22 feet per second. If the runner is sprinting, he could probably go further in a second. (but not me) If the runner is jogging 20 miles he would probably not go anywhere near that far in a second.

Answer 2

In the 2008 Olympics Usain Bolt ran 100 meters in 9.69 seconds which is an average of about 23 mph and he reached a top speed of about 27 mph.

He is the fastest man in the world so no one else has ran that fast before, but im guessing an average athletic man could sprint at about 22 or 23 mph. Again that is just a guess

Answer 3

Answer

As of June, 2001, Michael Johnson was considered the fastest human in the world by running the 200 meters in 19.32. According to Sports Illustrated, this feat has yet to be broken.

fastest sprinters hit ~30mph for a brief few moments. usually this happens in the 200m races.

Contrary to the prior answers the fastest man alive i usain bolt and he reaches top speed in the 100m dash at about 24mph

Answer 4

In the final of the one hundred metres usain bolt ran 24 mph

Answer 5

2.5 miles an hour is a modest pace. Not at all. 2.5 is slower than walking. 8-10 is a gentle jog and 12-15 is a standard run.

Answer 6

Usain Bolt can run the 100m in 9.58 seconds

Answer 7

Each individual human is different in their stamina and how long they can go without food. How far you can run really depends on your durability.

Answer 8

It depends a lot on your age, level of fitness, and gender, but usually you can figure the average running speed at around 12-15 mph.

Answer 9

They run at least 15 mph
