What is average sprinting speed for human?
Is there an “average sprinting speed” for humans? The world record for the 100 metres was set by the Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt (who was slowing up at the tape and not running “through” it as he should have!). Bolt was running a little over 23 miles per hour averaged though that distance. If you look at sprinters across the college ranks, a bit over 20 miles per hour would be a good average.
