Descibing Monk-speed

[Volaran]

We've recently come to the point where the monk in my campaign can outdistance the party horses by a good bit, at least in the short term. I have no issues with this rules wise, but I'm having a bit of difficulty describing or even picturing it.

Before the monk starts running, his speed is currently 70 feet.

Any thoughts or desctiptions you've used in your own campaigns?

Heh. Watch dragonball-z. After awhile, we took to describing our monk's actions like that. He had a modified move of like 180. So when he did a double move he was traveling at something on the order of 40 miles per hour. When he used Haste and moved during his partial move, it was around 60mph. So when he really took off moving, he would almost disappear and reappear at his destination.
