4.2 meters per second 15.1km/h. That's faster than any jogger.
6.5 meters per second is 23.4 km/h which is faster than my treadmill goes. Can humans really sustain that speed over a a marathon distance?
- dkasper 14y agoNot quite, 6.5 meters would be about a 1:45 marathon time. Currently the best marathoners can do 2:04 which is about 5.6 meters per second. For a half marathon world record pace is just over 6 meters per second.
