The Speedy Llamas: A Runner’s Inspiration
Did you know that despite their leisurely appearance, llamas can reach a top speed of 40 mph (65 km/h)?1 That’s right, these fluffy athletes can sprint faster than most people can imagine. When it comes to long distances, they maintain a steady pace of around 30 mph (45 km/h), which is quite remarkable for an animal that’s more often seen casually strolling through the Andes1.
Llamas’ Running Style
Llamas have a unique way of moving – they can walk, pace, trot, gallop, and even pronk, which is a playful leap into the air1. This versatility in their stride is something we can all admire. Imagine if we, as runners, could switch our running style with such ease and joy!
