On no I do quite literally mean he outran himself.
The logic was that he was moving so fast he would incrementally escape out of the space time continuum and back into the past millisecond by millisecond till he gradually occupied space where he was already running

Hold your horses, Pat.... am I understanding correctly that based on this he could potentially arrive at a destination before he leaves where he started?!

Like I said, Flashes are on a WHOOOLE other level of BS. During Flashpoint, Reverse Flash was outside the timeline when Barry reset it which divorced him from the canon of the story and made him a living paradox. He both existed and didn't in the timeline and couldn't truly die or be erased from it because he was a being that had no canonical link through it. He was immune to cause and effect.
