Jun 30, 2020 at 13:46 comment added Manuel Norman This is a great improvement of the question, thanks!
Jun 30, 2020 at 13:30 comment added Thomas Rot There are mathematical questions here if you change the quantifiers. For example one can define an $\epsilon$-almost geodesic as a curve that satisfies the bound with the given $\epsilon$. The question is then what submanifolds are $\epsilon$-almost geodesic? Maybe you will need to add some extra conditions on how to make the measurment precise for long geodesics. I would not know the answer (even in the finite dimensional case).
Jun 30, 2020 at 11:07 comment added Manuel Norman Ah, you're right! I was focusing too much on the theorem and didn't notice this. Thanks!
Jun 30, 2020 at 11:02 comment added Thomas Rot Any curve is an almost geodesic then.

Jun 30, 2020 at 9:52 comment added Manuel Norman Sure, I will add the definition in the question
Jun 30, 2020 at 9:52 comment added Thomas Rot can you define the notion of "almost geodesic" for me?

Jun 30, 2020 at 9:44 comment added Manuel Norman Yes, you are right, thanks for noting this. Actually, what I'm most interested in now is not the metric used (we just need one for which $H$ is complete, so that almost geodesics certainly exist), but the existence of almost geodesics on $H$ which are still almost geodesics on $M$. Any metric for which this happens will suffice, so we can consider the inner product
Jun 30, 2020 at 9:41 comment added Thomas Rot About your introduction: $H$ with the Riemannian metric induced by the inner product is itself is a complete Hilbert manifold right? Do you mean to study other complete metrics?
