Let’s analyze your assertion from the equation: a=f/m and in your example the distance is 1M with time being 8 minutes.

Therefore, I will use metric conversion to solve this problem because:
Acceleration = (2*distance/time Squared)/9.81)

= (2*1609.8/60^2)/9.81 = .091163 and given that a=f/m in theory both runners should have identical mass, but given that force is proportional to velocity this works at constant acceleration.
