Corrected entry: When Will runs from the Timekeeper's death to his car, he has about 30 seconds on his clock. The car is 300-400 metres away, perhaps further. To make it in time, Will would have to run faster than today's sprinting world record pace, but he is only seen running at a normal speed. As a side note, Sylvia is running behind him in high heels, almost as fast, and her time runs down to a couple of seconds. Odd that she never thought to remove those shoes so she can run faster, given her life is at stake. (01:35:50)

Correction: The Timekeeper specifically comments on this, surprised at how fast Will can run, during the conversation. We don't know how long the world has been like this. Could have been ten years, could have been a hundred years. With Time as their Life, it's quite possible that people in this world are naturally faster than people in ours, because if they were slow, they'd die. The fact that Silvia didn't remove her shoes is simple: People don't think straight in extreme situations like that. In reality, both of them would have probably died.
