This year has been particulary notorious for mosquitos. Due to the type of break up that happened.

Amongst runners who have already tried various sprays and mechanisms but never found one they were too pleased with. For the smell the feeling of it. For toxicity, for inefficacy, for unrealisticness of it. Eating garlic and onions until it comes out of your pores for example. Etc.

So it has become a running joke that we simply have to outrun them.

So while running I was rolling this around in my head.

Say you had one specific mosiquito following you and assuming that it persued you for as long and as fast as it could. How fast would have to run and how long would you have to in order to outrun the pesky persuer?
