I run dangerously fast and i am wondering if it is bad for your health to run over 100 miles per hour.?

Answer 1

Wait, I'm still laughing over your question, and the answers of Tha Villain, Clintwestwood, Mopargirl, and Warren!

According to Forbes.com, you are beyond qualifying for the Guiness Book of Records and maybe the Guiness drinking contest. Here's what Forbes says:

What's The Human Speed Limit?
Matthew Herper, 05.14.04, 3:00 PM ET

NEW YORK - How fast can a human being run? Right now, the theoretical limit is just under 30 miles per hour--but a new era of gene therapy could soon extend our species' capacity for speed.

Current runners already are touching the limits of what can be accomplished with the bodies nature gave them. "We're very close to the edge," says Peter Weyand, an assistant professor at Rice University. He says record-setting sprinters such as Michael Johnson and Donovan Bailey hit top speeds of as much as 27 miles per hour--but only briefly. "A dog, an ostrich, a cheetah, they can blow us away," says Weyand. "And the materials they use to run--their bones, their muscles, their tendons--are no different than ours."

Exactly what makes one kind of animal faster than another is complex and not entirely understood. One surprise: Apparently, it doesn't matter how many legs you have. Four-footed creatures are not inherently faster. Another surprise: All human runners move their legs at about the same rate, according to a study Weyand and his colleagues published in The Journal of Applied Physiology in 2000. "The slowest woman in our study, the time she took to reposition her leg was the same as Donovan Bailey, even though she could only sprint half as fast," Weyand says.

What matters is not so much how fast the legs can move, but how much force they can exert on the ground. One of the most important determinants of that is how much muscle can be fit on a beast's legs. John Hutchinson, a researcher at the University of London's Royal Veterinary College, has used this paradigm to reckon the top speeds of ostriches and elephants. He even tried the technique on dinosaurs, and came to the conclusion that Tyrannosaurus Rex--the favorite extinct monster of schoolboys everywhere--was a relative slowpoke. Some paleontologists had reasoned that the tyrant lizard hit speeds of 45 miles per hour, but Hutchinson says it only managed 10 to 25 miles per hour.

A fast animal, Hutchinson says, manages to exert a force of about 2.5 times body weight on its limbs. The fastest human sprinters already exert a force of about four times their weight. "I don't think speeds are going to go up 10%," Hutchinson says. "Maybe 5%."

But this speed limit may be breached as the brave new world of genetic engineering is brought into play.

Answer 2

Good gracious, NO!! Right now I run at a 110mph pace and am working toward reaching 150mph before long. It just helps me breathe easier and cleans out the valves of my heart. I plan to do the Boston Marathon next April. If all goes as planned, I ought to finish the race in under 12 minutes. By the way, hills do not bother me, do they bother you??

Good luck!!

Answer 3

In 1873 Henrich Vongogal predicted that anyone who ran over 100miles an hour would actually start to go backwards in time and eventually when he/she slowed down would overtake himself . This in itself is not dangerous but could be somewhat disturbing especially is you make some sort of noise as you went past . I would suggest that some heavy bags of flour or sugar attached to your ankles would lead to a slowing down of the running and a much fuller and enjoyable existance generally.

Answer 4

Pick and answer any of the following for your answer:

Which solar system do you belong to?
Are you a cheetah?
Are you a Corvette/Porshe/etc?
Are you human?


YES! 2 more points!

Answer 5

its not dangerous at all, as a matter afact get on the freeway and it might be dangerous for the rest of the moving vehicles!

Answer 6

It's more dangerous to be a liar

Answer 7

would hurt your shins and knees, but how could you run over 100mph

Answer 8

No, not at all, but I want to see you keep up with me!!
