It also can be proven that the first runner could slow down enough that the second runner could run at a constant speed, but still at atleast 1 other point besides the start line they are running at the same velocity

***Not sure if it makes sense to you but it make sense to me***

I agree. It seem from a logical standpoint that they would have the same velocity at least once in the race for some point in time. It may be for only 1 millionth of a second but its still the same velocity at the same time
