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 Usain Bolt. [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 preferred walking speed is the speed at which humans or animals choose to walk. Many people tend to walk at about 1.42 metres per second (5.1 km/h; 3.2 mph; 4.7 ft/s). Many people tend to walk at about 1.42 metres per second (5.1 km/h; 3.2 mph; 4.7 ft/s).
In Japan, the standard measure for walking speed is 80 m/min (4.8 km/h). Champion racewalkers can average more than 14 km/h (8.7 mph) over a distance of 20 km (12 mi). An average human child achieves independent walking ability at around 11 months old. [6]
A human traveling on a bicycle at 16–24 km/h (10–15 mph), using only the power required to walk, is the most energy-efficient means of human transport generally available. [5] Air drag, which increases with the square of speed, requires increasingly higher power outputs relative to speed.

Take the highway speed limit in the United States where you’ll average about 65 mph—just to keep the math easy. At that speed, you cover 35.2 yards every second. Sounds pretty fast, right?
Researchers assessed existing scientific literature on human behaviours like reading, writing, playing video games, and solving Rubik’s Cubes, and calculated that humans think at a speed of 10 ...
