10 km/h is approximately 9:40 per mile. Not a fast pace.
[BTW, what he did is insane and probably very dangerous for most people to attempt. The odds of getting injured/sick/suffering long term health consequences are high.]

Exactly! I don't understand how his heart rate is below 100 when running 10 kilometers (he says).

Try working on your briething. I've never run very far let alone a marathon(though I have played football non-stop for several hours many times when I was younger)... but 've found that by taking deep breathes while I run/jog means I can go for longer and without discumfort(until I stop) as opposed to when almost panting like a dog, it's as-if it has physchological effect and my body just refuses to work.
"He ran every race, he never walked. He ran at a rate of 10 kilometers per hour"
The man ran 6:13 miles[1]...in a marathon...each day, for 365 days in a row.
And he calls that a slow pace!
[1] Update: It's actually 6.2 miles per hour (the equivalent of a 9:40 mile), - still not too slow. I apologize for confusing miles per hour with mile times].
