Can anyone in Marvel repeat
They start in the same spot and have to either do better or achieve the same result RUNNING (no flying).

I think the impressive part is outrunning the shockwave of the blast.
Here's a list of speeds:

Based on that, any speedster worthy of their name can do it

In order to estimate velocity of the blast we need to take a look at the Sedov-Taylor solutions for a spherical blast wave.
Particularly these two.
In order to eliminate the time, t, we combine the abovementioned equations.
For our purposes we can approximate ξ ≈ 1, the air density can be assumed to be equal to that at sea level ρ = 1.225 kg/m³, since this seems to be a modern setting I'm going to assume that the energy yield is that of a Minuteman-II (LGM-30F).
It's difficult to see how far away the runner is from the building before the explosion but I'd make a rough estimate of 500 m.
At 500 m the speed of the blast is 2,290 m/s or 6.7 times the speed of sound.
So a couple of times faster than sound.
