- riffraff 2y agoFor an additional reference: the 100m Olympic times are ~10s, so if you'd run at a sprinter pace it'd be 1:40/km. Marathon times are insane.
- userbinator 2y ago6.2m/s or 22km/h (20ft/s or 13.8mph). The average human can definitely sprint faster than that, but obviously can't keep up that speed for long.
- mplewis9z 2y agoI’m in fairly good shape from biking pretty much every day and my average _cycling_ speed on my hybrid bike is below that, my goodness. If I’m on a completely flat trail, carrying nothing else with me, and I’m really pushing it I can average about 16 mph for an hour but to know that there’s someone out there running as fast as I bike is absurd.
- scns 2y ago16 > 13.8 no?
- buybackoff 2y agoWhen I was running marathons and in good shape, I tried to reach Kipchoge's marathon pace on 100m. I did not reach it by a tiny margin. I disliked and never trained for short distanced and that was a single attempt for fun after 5K jogging, which was more a warm-up than a load. My shape was definitely above "the average human" at that time. Their speed is incomprehensible.
- patrick0d 2y agothe average human certainly can not run that fast. treadmills in gyms usually cap at 20km/h and how many people on the street do you think could handle it? (very few of course)
