Solar Blades & Cosmic Spells uses abstract distances to simplify and speed up game-play. However, visualizing how far someone can run in a given amount of time can be difficult unless you are a regular runner. The table estimates the distance covered by a distance category on the personal scale.

The above assumes a walking speed of about 1.1㎧ and a typical running speed of about 2.5㎧, rounding to a clean number. Sprint speed is about twice this but can only be sustained for about 1 or 2 rounds. Top runners can run up to twice these speeds, up to a staggering 10㎧. The physical limit for a human running at top speed is about 3 rounds.
