~0.681 mph = 1 fps
~1.46 fps = 1 mph
~0.5836 mph = ~0.84 fps = 1MA
Far from perfect but in the ballpark as far as government work is concerned.

Well yes but isn't that mostly because many GM's don't count time very 
accuratly?
Kindda like encumbrance... I made a card game out of that to make it more 
"playable" while still giving info at a look.

Then again... I didn't really have a big need for olympic sprinter 
velocities before I started working on athletics stuff...there are only 15 
hexes across the longest distance on the TFT map after all and that's not 
even 20 yards.
Not much reason to be all out sprinting there.
