That's just not how games like this work, and it's not that normal gamers are worse. It's perfectly reasonable that a normal gamer might take 30 hours to complete a game that a speed runner can complete in an hour. One's goal is to play the game, the other's goal is to use their existing game knowledge to cut out as much content as possible. You can't expect to do a speed run on your first play through without following a guide, and if you do that what's the point in even playing it? Unless beating games as fast as humanly possible is your thing.
