Umm... modern olympists might go 20-25 MPH, certainly not 60... it is impossible for a human being to run anywhere near 60 MPH for any period of time (unless you do silly things like have them run on a fast moving automated sidewalk thingie)...

Re: OT: And you thought the world was sane...
In crowded areas, it's faster to walk on the ground than to go on those conveyer things. A bunch of people jam onto the conveyer and once you get on, you can't move. If you just walk at a normal pace beside the converyer, you can go faster than those things.
You can usually get upstairs faster by using the stairs than using the escalator or elevator, too. Also, you get some exercise.
