      @@drybonespaintingservices3017 This is not true. The true fastest mile on a flat surface was run by Hicham El Guerrouj in a time of 3:43.13, meaning he ran at 16.13 mph. Even a relatively fit average human can sprint at around 18 mph.
      The longest event that is considered to be entirely a sprint is the 400 meters. Technically, 400 meters sprinters only actually sprint for around 350 meters of the 400 because that is the absolute maximum distance a human can realistically run at top speed for before the aerobic system takes over.

      Cancels out the minutes and you get
      0.054 hours / miles
