My grandfather also told me this, has something to do with shorter front legs and longer back legs. The opposite I suppose would also be true, bears would kick your butt uphill. Sounds like one of those urban legends to me though.
As far as how fast a person can run, I seem to remember from track that the majority of fit people could run a 100m sprint in 12-15 seconds. If you crank out the math that gives you 18.6-14.9 mph. As long as I can still do math, which is debatable
