What would be a typical 40-yard-dash time for an average person?
Well… the average person is overweight and not in shape at all, so probably around 6-7 seconds. However, the average athlete (and I’m not talking DI or even DIII here, just anyone who regularly does sports that require running) probably runs it in around 5.2-5.4 seconds. In high school I ran it in 4.8 and while I was considered pretty fast in my soccer team, I wasn’t the fastest guy on the team and I wasn’t really a burner. Right now, I’m probably around 5 seconds if not a little slower.
