How do you define it? Short distance or long distance? Standing start
if short distance? What sort of runner are you comparing it to?
Yourself? If that is the case does it matter whether or not you are a
runner? Or are you comparing a unicycle with a world class/Olympic
level runner?
On average a 24"/140mm cranks is slightly faster than I can comfortably
run for anything over 1-2km. A 24"/170 or a 20"/125 is probably pretty
close. I used to be a runner before I took up cycling (and still run a
fair bit, but not at the moment)
I think the fastest Marathon is run in just over 2hrs. I think the top
unicyclists could probably do that on a 24"/125mm. They average about
20km/h which is easily attainable on a Coker or a 29'er
