The record is 44.72 km/h (27.78 mph), measured between meter 60 and meter 80 of the 100 meters sprint at the 2009 World Championships in Athletics by speed. [4] [5] (Bolt's average speed over the course of this race was 37.578 km/h or 23.35 mph.) [6] Compared to quadrupedal animals, humans are exceptionally capable of endurance, but incapable of great speed. [7]
The endurance running hypothesis is a series of conjectures which presume humans evolved anatomical and physiological adaptations to run long distances [1] [2] [3] and, more strongly, that "running is the only known behavior that would account for the different body plans in Homo as opposed to apes or australopithecines".
Coyotes can easily reach 48 km/h (30 mph), and can sprint at 65 km/h (40 mph) when hunting. [99] Even without a front foot, a coyote can still run at around 32 km/h (20 mph). [98] Big brown bat (flight) 56–64 km/h (35–40 mph) Big brown bats are reported to be one of the fastest bats reaching speeds of up to 40 mph. [101] Common dolphin
The 53-year-old distance runner has no trouble running a marathon. In fact, he can do them back-to-back while hardly breaking a sweat.
Triathlon, as defined by the International Triathlon Union, may feature running sections ranging from five kilometres (3.1 miles) to the marathon distance (42.195 kilometres, or 26 miles and 385 yards), depending on the race type. [46] The related sport of duathlon is a combination of cycling and distance running. [47]
Humans spontaneously switch from a walk to a run as speed increases. In humans, the preferred transition speed from walking to running typically occurs around 2.0 m/s (7.2 km/h; 4.5 mph), although slight differences have been shown based on testing methodology. [1] [2] [3] [4]
Miles per hour (mph, m.p.h., MPH, or mi/h) is a British imperial and United States customary unit of speed expressing the number of miles travelled in one hour. It is used in the United Kingdom , the United States , and a number of smaller countries, most of which are UK or US territories, or have close historical ties with the UK or US.
The U.S. Navy has received a prototype ship, the USNS Apalachicola, that can operate autonomously at sea for up to 30 days. The Navy’s New Ship Can Run Without Humans for 30 Straight Days Skip ...
