How continuous space and time theory explains achilles and tortois paradox?

I can understand discrete space and time and if it’s really how universe works than this paradox is quickly resolved, but there is another solution which my brain can’t understand. How does continuous spacetime work and solve this paradox?

The Zeno paradox is based on the two assumptions: “you can cut time and space infinitely” and “sum of infinite number of values is always infinite”. You correctly found that the first doesn’t hold in discrete time and space. In the continuous time and space the second doesn’t hold.
