How fast could the average person whose in peak physical shape run on the moon, without the limits of current technology? I mean suit, but like a wetsuit with only a small helmet, and athletic shoes.

Although I do wonder what would change if they didn’t have the bulky suits and ran during a parabolic flight simulating lunar gravity.
The suspension phase would be higher and longer.
Which is why the bunny hop is more natural.
Keep in mind hoping with enough force that your feet rises .45 meters (about a foot and a half), which is about average for a statist high jump on earth equates to about 3 meters on the moon. You’d land with the same force as on earth… but it takes much longer to get back down.
The other problem with running is stopping. You get going too fast, build up too much speed and you suddenly need more space to stop- or you fall on your face.
Bunny hopping is more controlled… and the entire world was watching.
Best not to goof off too much. Alan Sheherd…. im talking to you.
There is literally a video out there of Usain Bolt racing a couple scientists I think, aboard one of those zero grav planes.
