An Olympic runner typically completes a mile in about 4 to 5 minutes, depending on their level of performance. This translates to a speed of approximately 12 to 15 miles per hour (mph). Elite male runners, like those competing in the Olympics, can run the mile in around 3 minutes and 50 seconds, achieving speeds close to 15.6 mph.

If a runner runs a mile in 4 minutes 30 seconds how fast were they running in MPH?

If a runner runs a mile in 4 minutes 30 seconds he is averaging 13.33 MPH over the total distance.


If a runer runs a mile in 9 minutes how fast were they running MPH?

The runner would be running at 6.67 miles per hour. This is answered by dividing 60 (minutes in an hour) by 9 (minutes it took for one mile). You are basically saying that the runner will run a mile every 9 minutes, so how many '9 minutes' (each mile ran) are in an hour.


Will Runner A crosses the starting line of a marathon and runs at an average pace of 5.6 miles per hour. Half an hour later Runner B crosses the starting line and runs at an average rate of 6.4 mph?

To determine if Runner A will be caught by Runner B, we can calculate their distances over time. In the first half hour, Runner A covers 2.8 miles (5.6 mph x 0.5 hours). After that, Runner B, starting half an hour later, runs at 6.4 mph. Runner B will close the gap at a rate of 0.8 mph (6.4 mph - 5.6 mph), meaning it will take them 3.5 hours to catch Runner A (2.8 miles ÷ 0.8 mph). Thus, Runner B will eventually catch Runner A during the marathon.
