Yeah that's the one. At the end of the race wasn't something said about time being nearly stopped in comparison to them or something to that effect? It's been a bit since I read the issue so I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure it was mentioned somehow.

Yeah, Makk's perceptions became heightened to such a level that everything around him was moving so slowly, they were like statues in comparison. This still only means he was viewing local time slower, though - Zoom naturally operates ahead of local time.
Anyhow, I still find it ridiculous that Makk smoked Runner in their race by becoming light. ()
Oh I agree about it being ridiculous since Runner's been able to break that barrier since his first appearance, but the end effect was the same. If Wally matched Zoom's speed by going so fast that time nearly stopped in relation to them, then there's at least SOME evidence to suggest that Runner could keep up even without the Space Gem since he's shown the ability to do the same thing. It's not the most concrete evidence mind you, but it's enough to take the notion out of the "unfounded claim" category.
I don't care what the space gem is capable of doing under optimal conditions. Why? Because Runner [the guy using it in this thread] never did much more than teleport form A to B, with it.
Crediting a character with feats they never accomplished = Fail.
But when Wally was able to match Zoom, they were "locked between the ticks of a second." Key word there is, locked. See, time didn't just slow in their battle, as it waged on time had apparently stopped.
Which makes sense. I mean how else could Zoom's speed logically be matched?

Meh. Runner's still FTL. So is Zoom. They're probably comparable, one way or the other. And Runner's still far, far stronger and far, far more durable. I don't get how he puts up too much of a fight.
Because if Zoom reacts faster than Runner [which he would], he could begin a bombardment of several Supermanny face-punches, before Runner was able to move. And how many punches of that level can Runner take? We simply don't know. However, I'd be inclined to think it would do some type of damage.
But yeah that's a dead convo me and Eny had earlier.

Maybe. Or maybe he'd go flying in the air several thousand feet away, and then recover where Zoom couldn't touch him (the air.)
He hits an Amazon 200 times in a second. Those clearly weren't Superman-level blows. Presumably the more powerful the punch, the farther he's going to go flying. Conservation of momentum, and all.
