$\begingroup$ @EgorHans It's an off-topic close reason which essentially means "too broad": see this meta post for more explanation. $\endgroup$– Rand al'ThorCommented Feb 28, 2022 at 9:43

2$\begingroup$ Sometimes. If the wind is blowing from behind, there is an optimal speed - beyond a certain point, the faster you run, the more you catch. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 19, 2022 at 18:19

1$\begingroup$ @Joshua Yeah, 'A Chill' would have been much better, unsure if it's legit to change for synonyms... $\endgroup$– JoeCommented Jan 20, 2022 at 19:00

Another viable answer:
Thrown objects, such as a ball.
