Things are looking up for Mr. Walsh. He just passed TS 53 in Hanover, PA, and the man looks strong. “He’s running better right now than he has in a long time,” said crew lead Thomas Bérubé. “He can smell the finish line from here, I think.”

Don’t let that low 6.82MPH average fool you: if you remove the 3 hour break Walsh took at TS 52, you’ll find his average speed was a simply awesome 14.19MPH.

Here’s a small table that shows Walsh’s finish line ETA as of TS 53, at various average speeds:

9MPH: 19h51m
10MPH: 17h52m
11MPH: 16h14m
12MPH: 14h53m
13MPH: 13h44m
14MPH: 12h45m
15MPH: 11h54m
16MPH: 11h10m
17MPH: 10h30m
18MPH: 9h55m

So, if Walsh can do 11MPH average (this includes any rest), he will arrive at the finish line at approximately 6AM EDT tomorrow (Friday).
