[QUOTE="Rygar, post: 6253359, member: 6756765"] The part where you accurately describe what she's doing as "Running" or what you're doing as walking very slowly. This is just math. If it takes you X steps to reach point p, and it takes her 2X steps to reach point p because her stride is shorter, then her velocity to reach point p at the same time or earlier than you has to be substantially higher than her standard velocity. When each of you are taking steps at the same rate per second, you will arrive at point p before she does, because she is slower. We should be able to put this in a calculus equation and take the first and second derivatives if you'd like. All we need is the length of your legs and hers to figure out what the difference in X is. Since we can easily define it in a equation, it's pretty much inarguable that smaller creatures move slower than larger creatures, and the only way for them to arrive at the same point at the same moment in time is for the smaller creature to increase it's velocity.
