Answer 2

The athlete who holds the world record in 100 meter dash is widely considered "the world's fastest man". The current record is 9.72 seconds (set by Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt), which is equivalent to running about 23 miles per hour.

Answer 3

As fast as they can.

Ha, funny. The average person can run from somewhere between 12-17 miles. I'm sure the fastest recorded is much higher.

No. You can not run 30 mph unless you had a machine

Yes, but you would have to maintain a pace of 15 miles per hour which is very fast. It equates to running a 4-minute mile every mile for five miles.
