What is the average and fastest human running speed?
Q. See above for question. Also, what adaptations would help humans to run faster? I know that the pelvis is formed in such a way that is transfers the energy from one movement of one leg to the other (or something like that). I also know that humans are the best built organism to run for long periods of time. So what other adaptations or evolutions would help the human species run faster for longer periods of time?
Asked by Devin - Fri Jun 11 19:17:31 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I've no way to determine the average running speed between the billions of humans alive today although i believe Bolt's official speed was 25.5 mph at the 2008 Olympix. (Usain Bolt, currently still officially the world's fastest person). He's not much faster now, soo.. in the 25(.??(something)) mph range. O just thought 1 up>like ostrich's, no arms would reduce energy consumption.
