How big should a hamster wheel be for a human to run optimally? What material should it be made of?
inflation - monetary policy - us dollars
Material: Wooden slats covered in rubber. Mounted on a steel frame. Radius should be rather large, probably on par with the height of an average person.

Nah, way way bigger. Putting the effort aside to turn such a monstrosity, you'd maybe want something as large as a full-sized ferris wheel. Something large enough to where it feels like you are running on a level surface at the bottom of the week without feeling like your climbing up a hill the whole time. Even with a ferris wheel, the optimal running space to be at the bottom would still only be like 5-6 feet I'd guess until the up slope in either direction would be noticeable.
