The speed of the naath...
recently (last few months):
Running on a treadmill - averaging 8mph topping out at nearly 10mph mostly 7-13km at a time
Running outdoors - averaging about 7mph. most 5km but some 10-13 miles and 10km as well.
Walking - averaging a little over 3mph. mostly over ~3miles but I can do that most of the day if I break for food at reasonable intervals.
Cycling - averaging a little under 10mph; marginally slower on the old bike than the new. Top speed around 18-20mph. That's a travel-time average for Cambridge commuting rather than a moving average; I guess my moving average is more like 12mph on the shinybike. Averaging ~7mph on the 35miles to Kentwell; including time spent stopped in the pub for food.
Swimming in a pool - averaging 1.25mph. Pretty constant whether I do 1/4, 1/2 or a whole mile.
Onna train - about 60mph? I've not measured the train speed but it does the 60miles to LST in just over an hour (that's including time spent in stations). 106mph on the E* which is probably the fastest train I've been on.
My world goes past pretty slowly compared to people who drive a lot I guess... then again, I see a lot of people in traffic jams on my commute so maybe not.

I got much worse at parkrun though :( after I fell and bashed my knee... I guess I'm having difficulty with trusting the surface maybe? I hear we are getting a noooo parkrun off in some... other place... so maybe Milton will be less crowded.
Oh, and I've been so slacking at swimming :( must find a time slot to actually get reasonable amounts done.

Eurostar manages 180mph. It even does 100mph in the Channel Tunnel itself. And planes, of course, are two or three times faster again.

I have flown; but not for 7 years, this post really only covers the last 5-6 months. Within that time I might have been in a car... but I can't remember, so maybe not.
