How many laps on a running track is 0.18642 miles?
It's actually exactly 3/4 of a full lap on a traditional 400M track. One full lap is .2485 miles (400M out of 1609.344M in a mile).
Easiest and best way to look at it is you are going to travel around 3 parts of the track, I assume you are looking at a 300 meter run. It's basically 3 our of 4 major parts of a track. Two straightaways and a curve or two curves and one straightaway will give you the number you are looking for (as each part of the track is 100 meters or .06213 miles (.06213*3=.18642)).
How many laps around a track is 1000 meters?

Who ran the fastest 100 yards sprint?
The world record for 100 metres is 9.71 seconds.
The 100 yard dash is not generally used in international events (having been replaced by the 100 metre sprint). However, it is still occasionally run in the United States in certain competitions.
The world record for the 100 yard dash is 9.0 seconds flat by R.P. Williams in 1906.
I don't know who this R. P. Williams is, but no runner in 1906 ever came close to a 100 yd. time of 9.0 sec. The world record for the 100 yds was 9.2 in the early 1960's and was lowered in 1966 to 9.1. by Canada's Harry Jerome. Maybe "1906" should read 1976 or 1986.

The world record would depend on whether the run is conducted on road or on track. The fastest record reported for a 50 mile run is by Bruce Fordyce of South Africa, who recorded 4 hours 50 minutes and 21 seconds at the London to Brighton race, on September 25, 1983. Please note that most of other top records are within a minute from each other. Bruce Fordyce recorded a road run record of 4:50:51 at Chicago race on October 14, 1984. Don Ritchie of Great Britain recorded a track run record of 4:51:49 at Hendon race on March 12, 1983.

100 meters is a quarter of a lap. 400meters is a quarter of a mile (or one complete lap)
What track lane to use when running a mile?
On a standard track, one would run on the inside lane and do four complete laps to run 1600 meters (app one mile). The runners who run in any of the outer lanes get a staggered start (head start) to make up for the distance that one loses because of the wider turns. So, just stay on the inside lane and do four laps.

A usually predetermined portion of a relay or other, generally longer race.
Depends.. the professional athletes mainly run on specially designed synthetic tracks or sometimes on grass.. but ive also seen concrete, fake grass.....
Is a 4.66 fast for a 40 yard dash?
For a football player in full gear it would be a very good time. Most good running backs and defensive safeties in college can do about a 4.5-4.7 in full gear, good linemen do about 5.2 -5.5. High school is a bit slower. These are big guys in full gear - I would assume a fast sprinter with spikes in shorts is faster. I'm not sure whether that's a good time for track sprinter.
What are the commonly used spike shoes for long distance runners?
nike zoom victory's, nike mamba's or nike matumbo's all very good spikes
