One mile is about 1600m. If you run 10k in about 50 minutes you are running at 8 minutes a mile or 8 miles in 1600m. To improve 10k time by 1 minute is the equivalent of 200m.
If two runners set off at the same time the runner who completes 10k in 49minutes will be about 200m ahead of the runner who finishes in 50 minutes.
