Running kicks in the predator instinct. That’s why everyone always tells you not run from a wild animal.

“I don’t have to be faster than the bear. I just need to be faster than you.”

I don’t think you have to be a champion runner to do that. Hell, michael moorbid could catch a cheetah if you tell him they taste like a bacon cheeseburger.

You don’t have to be faster than the bears...

This young woman will explain the running speed of the black bear which is estimated at “ninety miles an hour” but somehow I doubt that the bear looks a lot like her.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jn2VHiccOQo

Not enough meat on a Kenyan to make it worthwhile for the bear to really try to catch him.

Maybe these Bears were offensive linemen rather than running backs.

What is the ground velocity of an unladen bear?

The runner was pacing on dry land while the bears were slipping and sliding in s**t.

Some bears can climb trees, can’t they? Black bears aren’t very good swimmers but neither was he, so it looks like this was `feets don’t fail me now!’
Lacking a boom-stick (and land speed), I would have hit the water or gone up a tree like a monkey on a stick.
