What a complete load of ****. Does an athlete run 100m much faster with a 30mph tailwind? No.

Seriously, if you have to think about this for more than 10 seconds you need to have words with yourself.
The earth spins faster when Usain Bolt goes for a run.
Just read this article on the bbc http://http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23462815
Apparently when Usain Bolt ran 100m in 9.58 seconds, "8% of the energy his muscles produced was used for motion, with the rest absorbed by drag"
So I'm wondering what sort of speed could he achieve in a vacuum, if his muscles are using 100% of the energy for motion, would obviously need some kind of breathing device.
Don't give it high revs or put it under unnecessary load for the first 1000 Miles.

How much faster would he run at the equator than at one of the Earth's poles? (Assuming he's running against the rotation of the Earth)
