According to the Guiness Book of World Records, the fastest a human has run is 200 m in 19.32 seconds by Michael Johnson (US) Atlanta, Georgia, July 21, 1996. This about 10.35 m/sec.

However human beings travel much faster than this using animals such as horses, or while falling off buildings, or using machines such as automobiles and aeroplanes. Top speed for manned aircraft is held by the Lockheed SR-71 "Blackbird" at about 3500 km-hr or 600 m/sec. Not to be outdone the International Space Station has an orbital velocity of about 7725 m/s

On a larger scale, the Earth revolves around the Sun at a speed of about 18.5 miles/sec (30 km/sec) so each of us is travelling at 30,000 m/sec.

We are also part of the stars in our galaxy It and its neighbours, the so-called Local Group, are moving at 600,000 m/sec towards the constellation Hydra.
