It's weird to see a guy so small naturally go off one leg considering the lack of leverage.
Current PR status:

All time squat: 165 kg/Old age squat: 130 kg
All time deadlift: 184 kg/Old age deadlift: 140 kg
All time bench: 85 kg/Old age bench: 70kgx5reps
All time hip thrust (same as old age hip thrust): 160kgx5reps

what's his running vertical?

No idea , but we can guess.
He is 5'6'' , so his reach must be around the 7'4'' area , probably less but let's say he has long arms. For a dunk like that he needs to get at least 10'' over the rim ( again arguably but that's what it looks like and that's how much i need to do cuffed 1-handers ).

So 10'10'' - 7'4'' = 42''

Since this was an in-game dunk with a defender crashing him mid-air , id guess he could get a couple of inches higher at his best jump , i'd accept a legit 45'' RVJ speculation...
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50
VO2-max run :4:21
Speed form run : 4:02

---

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

also he has to be able to get atleast 12-14 inches over rim to throw it down like this:
