Yes, 15mph is very fast for a runner as it equates to a 4-minute mile. 15mph represents the fastest a human can run, with extensive training, for a distance of 1 mile to 2 miles. Sprinters can run faster, but obviously for a much shorter duration.
Most (non-athletic) healthy active kids and young adults will be able to run 100m around that pace or slightly faster without any training. With a little bit of regular training they might be able to drop 2–3sec to maybe 15 sec. Lots of hobby runners of a very wide age range could put up a 15sec/100m, or even 30s/200m.
Humans could perhaps run as fast 40 mph, a new study suggests. Such a feat would leave in the dust the world's fastest runner, Usain Bolt, who has clocked nearly 28 mph in the 100-meter sprint. The new findings come after researchers took a new look at the factors that limit human speed.
I would say 17 miles per hour is very fast (way above average) for any age group. But not many people on this planet can hold that for a long time that is faster than most world records in the distance running world. You would need a high pain tolerance and a lactate threshold that is near world-class.
The speed of the moving treadmill belt is measured in miles per hour, or mph. This correlates to how fast you would be moving forward if you were walking or jogging outdoors. If you increase the speed to 10 on the treadmill, you are running at 10 mph. That's a brisk pace, and equivalent to a 6 minute mile.
Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt is still known as the fastest man alive. Though he retired in 2017 (and had lost a race or two), the eight-time Olympic gold medalist currently holds the official world record for both the men's 100-meter and 200-meter sprints, which he achieved at the 2009 World Championships in Berlin.

Any run that has a pace that is quicker than 8 mph is viewed as being 'running'. If the runner is covering upwards of 8 mph in speed, it is running as opposed to jogging.
Is 20 mph Fast For a Human? Yes, If you run the entire hundred metres in 20mph, you will get a time of 11.1 seconds. With a top speed of 20 miles an hour, you were likely to have an average speed of around 17mph giving you a time of 13 seconds for the 100m.
According to Fox News, humans—who top out at roughly 23 mph—may one day be able to reach phenomenal speeds of up to 40 miles per hour.
In normal conditions a trained human can run almost 65 kilometres at a stretch. But this can vary if a African tribesman is trained for long distance running. The genetic factor works there. Slow and steady running without a break , in that case will cross 80 kilometre mark.
Yup, reaching a peak speed of up to 21 mph is ofcourse deadly quick. It also means that your average speed would be somewhere between 18–19 mph. In terms of racing the 100metre dash, that sort of speed would translate into a time between 11.65sec and 11.88sec (depending on how long you hold the top speed.
That pace has you running a 13.3 second 100m and a 53 second 400m. If you can hold it for a marathon (42,2km), you can run a 1hr 26 min marathon. The mile, 1/4mile, and 100m times are all impressively fast and physiologically possible.
If you're new to running, you might run one mile in closer to 12 to 15 minutes as you build up endurance. Elite marathon runners average a mile in around 4 to 5 minutes. The current world record for one mile is 3:43.13, set by Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco in 1999.
We may someday see a human achieve upwards of 600 miles in a single running session. For that, we just need to find a rare individual that possesses the endurance of Cliff Young and the immunity to sleep deprivation of Randy Gardner.

8.6 meters per second is about 19 miles per hour. So in terms of sprinting, your time would be below average for a track sprinter. At 11 miles per hour you would finish the 100 dash in 20 seconds which isn't that great for a 6th, 7th, or 8th grader runner.
Speed. If you can still run comfortably at that speed, turn it up another notch. Your maximum sprinting speed is likely to fall between 8 and 12 mph.
In this study, 16 year olds were able to reach a maximum running speed of 26 kilometers per hour (3:45 per mile), while two year-olds and 10 year-olds were able to reach six (16:20 per mile) and 20 kilometers per hour (4:50 per mile), respectively.
