Can a man run faster than a dog?

[Gylen]

As above, I reckpn I could outrun my cousin's Great Dane but she reckons not. There is simply no way a clumsy brute of a dog like that can move quickly but I digress...


An Olympic sprinter versus a normal dog - black lab, collie etc. Who wins over the 100m dash?

What about an average man?

can a man outrun a 335d(mapped) ?

Possibly, running on a conveyor belt!?

Depends on the dog and person, age, breed, fitness, health, leg length...The list goes on.

I don't know for a normal dog. I'd guess it probably wins. A greyhound would absoloutely destroy an olympic sprinter ~45 mph compared to ~25mph.

depends if the back seats are folded or not, I think

My money would be on the dog in most situations.

[EmmaP]

I think most could out-run this little fella.

The police use dogs to catch criminals. The crimninals presumably run from the dogs, but they catch them. Ergo, no a man cannot outrun a dog.

Nor an Elephant. Infact a Landrover can't outrun an elephant over a short charging distance. Although technically speaking elephants can't run, they just walk very quickly.

I reckon than infact an elephant could outrun a dog.

As above with the age, fitness and size of both but directly relating to you I don't think you could out run a great dane in open terrain. They are big and fairly clumsy in their ways but at sprint they are quick. They were bred (sp) for hunting wild boar originally.

Will there ever be a boy who can swim faster than a shark?

[red_zed]

did anyone see that programme a while back where they simulated various animals/insects performing different sports, and then compared them relatively to a human

it wasnt your run of the mill black labs or anything, but i think pound for pound it was pretty conclusive that humans are pretty pants at most things for their size

obviously thats why we all need a mapped 335d, to be equal to everything else

animal olympics i think it was called...

Depends; is the dog in a sack with a couple of bricks?

Sounds like a prime candidate for an empirical test. 5 quid on the dog…

My mate has a long driveway, and I have got in the habit of chucking out my 4yr old Jack Russell and then racing off so he has to sprint to keep up. He will sit at 20mph all the way up it, and I reckon it is approx half a mile. I don't think many humans would get anywhere near him, and he is only tiny with little stubby legs. Saves walking him anyway.......



Wonder what a Jack Russell with a 335d engine bolted on would go like?

Apart from thinking - we're pretty good at that and it allows us to build such magnificence as a 335d (mapped), surely the pinnacle of mankind's achievement.

I did see this. I seem to remember reading at the time they also tried testing a mapped 335d as a benchmark.

Unfortunately it was so quick it kept breaking the equipment and they had to leave it out of the final cut.
