Achilles
Spoiler:
If the track is a straight line then he will gain 10 for every second and lose 50. If at the end of the first second he has run 10m the gods have stretched the 50m track ahead of him and 50m behind him. Thus after 1 second he has 140 meters to go and 55 meters behind him. After 2 seconds he will have 180 ahead of him.
I'm still working on the calculations.
