The man closes in 53 at the end of his 10ks. He can do MUCH faster than 49.Extremely well-conditioned runners can often run within 3 seconds of their best 400 for the last lap of a 10,000, even off a moderately fast pace. This is not uncommon at all.
This is not the way the human body works. Even a fourth grader knows this. Next you're gonna tell me that he can actually run faster on the last lap of a 10K than an open 400 because he is so well conditioned.
