How fast can a human run?

The fastest human in history at the moment is Usain Bolt, who clocked 9.58 seconds in the 100m race in Berlin.

It’s believed that the top speed that he reached during the race was 27.8 miles per hour. In the metric system, this is 44.72km per hour.

This means the average velocity that Usain Bolt was running was 12.42 metres per second.

This is very fast!

It will be possible for humans to run faster than this. The improvement will be incremental.

You can use this as a benchmark and compare it to the velocity that you need to run to become faster.
