I have walked 24 miles. It took me about 5 hours.

42.195 km\n26 miles, 385 yards\n\nIt wasn't always this way- it used to be more like 25 miles in the early 1900s but was lengthened so the king of London? could watch the finish and then kept at that length.

not too far I guess :))\njust attending the first round

A very long time. I have had to do it in almost every sport I've played (that one exception being tennis lol)

Actually, this was surpassed by Ryan Capes at a distance of 310' 4". You can see video of this here: \nhttp://www.nbc4.tv/news/5216306/detail.html

There is no official world record for 40 yards.\n\nThe shortest distance that the IAAF, track and field's international governing body, recognizes for world-record purposes is an indoor 50 meters, or about 54 yards. It is 5.56 seconds and it was set by Canadian sprinter Donovan Bailey in 1996. There is also a world record for 60 meters -- 6.39 seconds by American Maurice Greene in 1998.\n\nBut it is another Canadian, Ben Johnson, who is believed to have run 40 yards faster than any human in history. Johnson is best known for injecting copious amounts of steroids and winning the 100 meters at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul in 9.79 seconds, only to have his gold medal and world record stripped after failing a post-race drug test.\n\nTiming officials have since broken down that famed race into 10-meter increments, and Johnson was so preposterously fast that he went through 50 meters in 5.52 seconds and 60 meters in 6.37 -- both under the current world records at those distances. He went through 40 yards that day in 4.38 seconds.\n\nHe was running in spikes . . . on a warm afternoon perfectly suited for sprinting . . . with a slight tailwind . . . with years of training from arguably track's top coach, Charlie Francis . . . with Carl Lewis and six others of the fastest men on the planet chasing him . . . with 69,000 people roaring at Seoul's Olympic Stadium . . . with hundreds of millions of people watching on TV . . . with the ultimate prize in sports, an Olympic gold medal, at stake.\n\nAnd, as we learned later, with muscles built with the assistance of the anabolic steroid stanazolol.\n\nFour-point-three-eight seconds.\n\nThen again, maybe Ben Johnson isn't the fastest 40-yard man in the world.\n\nMaybe half the NFL is faster.\n\no o o\n\nIt can be the most important few hours of a football player's career. It is the day NFL scouts come to campus to determine whether prospects have what it takes to play at the next level.\n\nPlayers are measured to the quarter-inch. They're weighed to the half-pound. They do a vertical jump and a standing broad jump. They see how many times they can bench-press 225 pounds. They do a 20-yard shuttle drill and something called a three-cone drill. They are put through a short workout specific to their position.\n\nBut it is something else that commands everyone's attention, something else that interrupts the businesslike atmosphere of players shuffling from one station to the next. Something else that causes scouts and spectators to snap to attention.\n\nThe 40-yard dash.\n\nIt is the day's shortest event, and the most critical. No other statistic carries more influence for an NFL prospect, no single number has more impact on his draft fortunes. It's not called Pro Scouting Day or Pro Prospect Day or Pro Workout Day. The sign taped to the weight-room door at San Diego State on March 19 says: "Pro Timing Day."\n\nOr as local football agent David Caravantes puts it: "There's football speed and there's 40 speed, and the scouts will all tell you they understand that and game film is the most important thing. But how many defensive backs who ran a 4.6 are left on the draft board ahead of guys who ran 4.3?\n\n"I'll give you another example. There's this DB who was originally projected as a first-rounder. But he didn't run the 40 that fast -- something like 4.6 instead of in the 4.4s -- and now they're talking about him slipping to the second round. Well, he's looking at a minimum $4 million signing bonus if he goes in the first round and only about $1.6 million if he goes in the middle of the second round.\n\n"You do the math."\n\nThe players are inside the SDSU weight room being measured and weighed. In the hallway outside are their agents, pacing. Nervously. Occasionally they'll walk outside, look up at the sky and stick out an upturned hand to feel the raindrops.\n\nThis is not good.

Arbroath vs Bon Accord 36-0 in a Scottish league game in the 19th century.... \n\n Hmmm not sure about league football but I am pretty sure that for the World Cup, including qualifying the record is Australia 31-0 American Samoa from 2002Jocky Petrie scored 13 goals in that game, also a record as the most goals by a single player in a British senior match. the victory is still the largest ever recorded & it's the world record.

Most recent world record in the 100 meters is 9.76 seconds.  That equates to 22.92 miles per hour.  That's pretty darned fast, but they can't sustain those speeds for long.\n\nScientific American magazine printed an article showing the time trends of a variety of world record performances, and it was a very slow, but linear trend downwards -- i.e., the times to cover specific distances in world class performances was trending steadily downwards.  No estimate of a human physical limit, but an interesting study nonetheless.\n\nThe most amazing thing in that study was the spectacular performance of Bob Beamon in the long jump at Mexico City in 1968.  His leap put him something like 20-25 years ahead of the statistical trend for the long jump, and it took that long for the rest of the world to "catch up".
