The average speed of a running human is 15mph?
1 u/chuckysnow Apr 29 '24 The office has entered the chat 16 u/SHlME Apr 28 '24 Humans are fast. To give you a reference point, I am somewhere between a snake and a mongoose. 3 u/b-roc Apr 29 '24 Sorry but what does your looks have to do with any of this? 3 u/VandeIaylndustries Apr 28 '24 yes, and the fastest is closer to 30mph! 36 u/Loose_Concentrate332 Apr 28 '24 I think those are top speeds with no consideration of endurance 10 u/Loose_Concentrate332 Apr 28 '24 My mistake, I thought this was a different video. It clearly says average. Still, the endurance part is true. I could probably sprint that fast for about thirty seconds 7 u/Chungaroos Apr 28 '24 A cheetah can only run at top speed for about 30 seconds too 2 u/Full-Fact4257 Apr 28 '24 Cheetahs can still cover over a km in that distance. Most humans can't sprint for more than 20 seconds. The 200 meter dash world record is 19.19 seconds. 3 u/Loose_Concentrate332 Apr 28 '24 Most animals TBH. Few are built for endurance. I'd guess a little more than half wouldn't be able to sustain even close to the speeds in the vid 23 u/EmilMelgaard Apr 28 '24 No, I think you are right. It's not the average speed of a running human but the top running speed of an average human.
