What is the average running speed of an adult male human?

Answer 1

Is there an "average sprinting speed" for humans? The world record for the 100 metres was set by the Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt (who was slowing up at the tape and not running "through" it as he should have!). Bolt was running a little over 23 miles per hour averaged though that distance. If you look at sprinters across the college ranks, a bit over 20 miles per hour would be a good average.

Answer 2

Jogging differs from running, as it suggests lighter exercise. What one person may consider a jog, another may consider a brisk run. Generally, however an average jog for men is about 10:30 per mile.

Answer 3

the average running speed of an adult, healthy male human is around 14 miles per hour. this depends on how fast you are running but in general 14 miles per hour is the average speed.
