Let's calculate how far you run in one second......this is given by

10ft / 1.8 sec =  50/9 ft per second

And since there are 3600 seconds in one hour....then you run.....

3600 sec/hr  * 50/9 ft/sec =

400 * 50  =

20000 ft per hr

And dividing this by the number of feet in one mile - 5280 - we have

20000 ft per hr/ 5280 ft/mile  =  about 3.78 mph
