Speed limit is 20mph right? He ran 26.1 miles in 2 hours so average speed is 13 mph

Looking this up, fastest human is still Usain Bolt at 27.78mph (at one point in a 100 meter dash)

Damn was thinking km/h. Thanks for the correction.

You actually can get a ticket for driving 13 in a 25, at least in the US, so you're not entirely incorrect.

Fair enough. My kids are learning to drive and “how fast should I go” is a constant topic in my family right now.

Just yesterday I saw a learner driving at what seemed 10 mph in a 40 mph road, creating a massive queue.
