10.5 is faster than 9.9
9.9 is cutting it too close
Good gust of wind hits you in the face and you're fucked.

But that's if it's a running start. If not, faster.

if you remember to convert the meters to miles, instead of yards to miles, its closer to 12.5 mph

It's actually not at all.

Thanks in advance.
300 meters in 68 seconds ? You need to worry less about math and more about physical fitness in my opinion. The average person should be able to run 400-430 meters in that amount of time.

A 400 in 68 seconds is where most high school freshman...who run track...are at. Plenty break 60 but the average don't have that speed.
The average person isn't going to be able to run 400-430 meters in 68 seconds. Even if you lift, bro.

Wrong on the number and on the comment. The average speed is obviously unaffected by whether the start is running or stationary.

Howso? It takes time to build to speed. I mean over 300m it wouldn't be a massive difference but it should be some difference

Exactly. You have a slow speed at the start while you're building up which brings the average down. If you're only at 5mph a second in, that will bring the average down. Not a lot, but mathematically the average should be coming down

none of that negates the fact that the average must be 9.8688 miles per hour (or faster) in order to hit the pace in the op. if your average is lower than that over the entire span, it doesn't matter if you have fast or slow start, you will not hit the pace
ed: in other words, read bolick's post as 'the average speed required will be unaffected by...'
of course the actual average is affected by fast or slow starts, but that doesn't change the actual speed required

Nvm I see what's happening. I thought we were talking about hitting 68 seconds by running exactly 9.9mph, then saying a dead/running start wouldn't factor into the situation at all.
If the person already ran it and hit 68 seconds, it wouldn't matter how they ran it because they did average out at 9.9
