IIRC when Michael Johnson obliterated the 200m record in 1996, it was something like 30 mph, but I am not positive.

JESUS CHRIST, that is haulin ass! 30 MPH??....and that was the 200.

Any math geeks here who can tell me how fast that is in MPH? Just curious.

100 m = 0.0621 miles, so if he was able to keep the pace up for an entire mile (unrealistic), that would be a mile in 157.33 seconds = almost a 2.5 minute mile (again, unrealistic). MPH-wise, that is 22.88 MPH.

I understand, so for those 100 meters, he's moving at a speed of 23 MPH.
