Some of the fastest humans reach their maximum speed around the 60-metre mark. 60-meters is often used as an outdoor distance by younger athletes when starting sprint racing. Note: Indoor distances are less standardized, as many facilities run shorter or occasionally longer distances depending on available space. 60 m is the championship distance.

The world record in the mile run is the fastest time set by a runner in the middle-distance track and field event. World Athletics is the official body which oversees the records. Hicham El Guerrouj is the current men's record holder with his time of 3:43.13, [1] while Faith Kipyegon has the women's record of 4:07.64. [2]
An earlier women's world record, 4:12.56 set by Svetlana Masterkova of Russia on 14 August 1996 at Zürich, stood for almost 23 years: Masterkova became the first woman to run the mile in less than 4 minutes and 15 seconds. Kipyegon's run has led some to speculate that the first women's sub-four minute mile may come within the 21st century. [31]

In terms of judging a person's speed, the best method of timing is through lasers which start and stop the times when passed through. A laser start (from a stationary position) is more accurate for measuring pure speed as it does not register a runner's reaction time, however, this method of timing a 40-yard dash can affect the accuracy by as much as 0.5 seconds with the manual stopwatch method.
Most of us know to be cautious of sharks and lightning, but, in reality, there are some rather big dangers out there that often go unacknowledged.
The 1500 m, however, is the most common distance run at the college and international levels. The final leg of a distance medley relay is 1600 metres. An accurate way to run an actual mile on a metric track is to run the additional 9.344 meters before starting the first marked 400-meter lap.
