# Running Speed Dataset

## Dataset Description

This **placeholder** dataset maps running distances to typical running speeds, providing a simple relationship between meters covered and miles per hour (mph). The dataset can be used for:
- Analyzing the relationship between distance and running speed
- Training basic regression models
- Educational purposes in data science

## Dataset Structure

The dataset is a simple CSV file with two columns:
- `meters`: Distance covered in meters
- `mph`: Corresponding speed in miles per hour

### Data Fields

- `meters` (float): The distance a person runs, measured in meters
- `mph` (float): The corresponding speed, measured in miles per hour

### Data Splits

The dataset consists of a single training split with no test/validation splits provided.

## Dataset Creation

### Source Data

The data represents typical running speeds across different distances, compiled to demonstrate the general trend that running speed tends to decrease as distance increases.

### Annotations

This dataset contains no annotations as it is a simple numerical mapping.
