But Thane has short legs (or appears to, at least).

Yeah, and coats against wind and such do not help in runs either.

There's a 2-mile race among the Normandy crew members:

The top three winners:

1. Garrus
2. Shepard
3. Tali

Please explain your reasoning.

Well, Turians have that predator thing going for them, so I suspect they're good runners.

Shepard comes in second because he's Shepard. I can see Tali maybe being ahead of him for a bit thanks to dem legs, but Shepard will have superior endurance (partly thanks to his much greater lung capacity, tali's torso is tiny!) 

I'm not convinced about the lung capacity factor. Scientifically speaking we don't know how efficient (or not) the Quarian lung system is, nor the exact proportions of their lungs vs. their body size nor how effective their muscle structure is, etc. Comparing Tali's presumed lung capacity based on the size of her torso to that of Shepard is akin to stating that human females are likely to be less intelligent than human males because human males tend to have larger brains due to being larger in size. However, as reality can attest to, there are women that are very intelligent and in a good number of cases at least as intelligent, if not more so, than a number of their male counterparts. And that's comparing between members of the same species, nevermind comparing it to an alien species. Just saying.

Science!

FemShep has also mastered the ability of sprinting in high heels. That counts for something.

Since when?

Stolen Memories.

Question what is Medi-gel? Seriously, what is it? I get the 'gel' part ... does it contain nano machines or something? Or what?

[Andaius20]

yes you do keep the dress and heels.

But two miles? The runner would have to be in top shape and able to run at a constant speed the entire time. My votes still on Legion.

This.

I wonder what Grunt's top speed is and whether it would surpass that of the others over a two mile distance presuming the others' speed decreases during the race? Grunt certainly seems to have the physical endurance being a perfect genetic Krogan specimen from a species that evolved on a physically harsh, violent and brutal world.

Yeah, it's true that there's a lot of factors that could be an issue because she's an alien. 

But I do think it's reasonably safe to assume that Shepard would have greater lung capacity, and that it would give him an edge.

Read your codex entires on it. It's a bio engineered orginism. http://masseffect.wi...m/wiki/Medi-gel

Medi-gel is an all-purpose medicinal salve combining an anaesthetic and clotting agent

 I'll be damned.  Chapter 3 of Broken Spirit is just about finished; hell, I may have Chapter 4 done after dinner!

Hooray for no longer being a lazy tosser with my writing 

[sergio71785]

Yeah, on second thought, I can see Legion probably coming out on top, assuming he can maintain a steady speed (which is very likely). 

Running on two legs consumes massive amounts of energy--if his power source can output energy at a fast enough rate (which is very probable), he should be able to maintain it.

Goddamnit, I've read one too many fics in which Legion dies. This is depressing as hell. (I know this isn't Tali related, but I needed to vent).

Don't worry, he's got a backup somewhere.

It'll just be before his adventures with Shepard.
