Track and Field

If you ran at a speed of 17mph, you would cover 40 yards in approximately 3.53 seconds. But let's be real, unless you're a cheetah in disguise, hitting that speed is about as likely as finding a unicorn at the end of a rainbow. So, good luck with that!

A mile is equivalent to 1609.34 meters. Therefore, one twelfth of a mile would be 1609.34 meters divided by 12, which equals approximately 134.11 meters. So, there are approximately 134.11 meters in a one twelfth of a mile track.

In countries where Imperial measures prevail some athletics tracks are 440 yards (i.e. 1/4 mile) for one lap. So 12 laps would be, um... 3 miles?

The marksman assists the starter by ensuring athletes are in the correct lane, start behind the start line and that they are still before the gun goes.

Ah, what a lovely question. Let's imagine a peaceful running track together. If we think about a standard running track being 400 meters long, 880 yards would be approximately 8 times around the track. Isn't that a delightful thought? Just imagine the gentle rhythm of your steps carrying you around and around, each lap bringing you closer to your goal.

To estimate your 40 yard time based on your 60 yard time, you can use the equation: 40 yard time = (60 yard time / 60) * 40. Plugging in your 60 yard time of 6.8 seconds, the calculation would be: (6.8 / 60) * 40 = 4.53 seconds. Therefore, based on a 6.8 second 60 yard time, your estimated 40 yard time would be approximately 4.53 seconds.

Nordic people tend to be taller due to a combination of genetic, environmental, and nutritional factors. Genetics play a significant role, as height is influenced by inherited traits from ancestors. Additionally, the Nordic countries have high standards of living and access to nutritious diets rich in proteins and calcium, which contribute to healthy growth. Furthermore, the colder climate may have historically favored taller physiques for better thermoregulation.

1 Lap is 400 meters. 4km is equal to 4000m. 4000÷400=10 so 10 laps would equal 4 Km.

For a 7 minute mile you will average 1 minute and 45 seconds per lap on a 400 meter track (four laps), although keep in mind your first lap should be a bit faster and each subsequent lap will almost certainly be slower than the ones before it, so you should try to get around 1:35 on your first lap, maybe? It all depends on your running style. You would have to run an average of 8.57 mph over the entire mile.

It depens, how long you've practice swimming. If you've swamm for years, you would probably swimm for aproximily 15 miles per hour. If you've only swamm for 1 year or less, you would swimm about 10 miles per hour or less.

^^ Joke answer right? The world record is like 5mph. The avg experienced swimmer probably 2 mph maybe 3. 3-5 kph. That's a guess, but a better answer than what's above.

The track at Warinanco Park in Elizabeth, NJ is 400 meters long.

To calculate the speed in mph, we first convert the time to minutes: 27 sec is 0.45 minutes (27/60). Then we divide the distance (220 yards) by the time in hours: 220 yards / (0.45 minutes * 60 min/hr), which equals approximately 293.33 yards per hour. Converting yards to miles (1 mile = 1760 yards) gives us a speed of about 6.62 mph.

The average walking speed of a human is around 3-4 miles per hour. However, running speed can vary widely depending on factors like age, fitness level, and terrain. The average running speed for a human ranges from 6-8 miles per hour.

The fastest human speed recorded is 27.8 mph, achieved by Usain Bolt during his 100m world record run in 2009.

The Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ is currently considered the fastest production car in the world, with a top speed of over 300 mph.

Florence Griffith-Joyner holds the women's world record in the 100 meter dash at 10.49 set in 1988.
Florence Griffith-Joyner is the fastest female 100 m runner in the world. She set the record of 10.49 seconds on July 16, 1988.

There are finishers who are still crossing the line at approx. 3PM on race day. However the 1st place male leader, Sammy Wanjiru, finished in 2:06:24.

Joshua Jones was 18 with a mile and a half time of 6:31 in 2011. This is by far the fastest mile and 1/2 time recorded ever. His coach Jay Chagnon had this to say, "it was a really fast time and i am pround of all the hard work he has done."

In that race Jones crushed his competition, with second place being Johnathan Butts nearly 2 min behind

One mile in 4.13793 minutes if running at 14.5 mph.

The fastest time for the mile run is 3:43.13, by Hicham El Guerrouj in Rieti, Italy on June 7, 1999

Frenchman Christophe Lemaitre, who ran the 100m in 9.98 seconds on 9 July 2010, becoming the first white man ever to break the 10 second barrier.

yes, true! and his record, brief as it is, shows a consistency no other white man has ever shown.

His top runs, all easily wind legal, are 9.98, 10.02,10.03, 10.04,10.05 10.09x3, show his class.

All were run between 19 years and one month and 20 years and one month of age, so he's also the youngest of all great white sprint talents.

Since this post he has done another 9.98 and a 9.97. He also won the European 100, 200 and 4 x 100 champs. He is European junior 100m record holder and intercontinental cup 100m winner. In short, not only is he the fastest white man ever BUT perhaps even more critically, a real competitor who relishes the challenge.

The average of his top 10 x 100m times now approach 10.02e and can only be expected to improve given his youth

UPDATE (18 Sept 2011): Lemaitre has now posted 9.92/100 and 19.8/200 times. His top 10 average 100 metre runs has dropped to below 10 seconds and he is still just 21 and 3 months old
