The Olympics and all...Do any of you know what MPH those sprint runners are running at?

Thanks

one of the brodcasters said 25mph at least.

The fastest speed of a human running was set by Maurice Greene, who achieved a sprint speed of 26.7 mph.

Note that is anaerobic: the highest sustained speed is just over 15 miles an hour - i.e. a 4 minute mile.
So the first is the limit of the legs, the second the limit of the heart.

If you have a Garmin portable gps you can check your own an can measure your distance. Mine not so great these days.Can also check you tractor speeds.

It seems to me that they're running a 100 M track in something like ~9.5 seconds... That equates to 37.8 km/h or ~23.7 mph.

In the men's 10,000 meter they average about 14 mph.

(quoted from post at 07:36:16 08/19/08) My wife can run much faster than that if she sees a snake in the garden..

And I can run faster than that if she is chasing me.
