Well assume he stops at the beginning for a 1h speech (if he stops during it's impossible to figure out the exact result), then he has to travel exactly 1mph faster to make up for that hour, 10 seems like it fits.

If you want to work it out properly, just find out how far you can travel in an hour at 1mph, then times it by 5.
