We don't need to. Humans, trained properly, are good long distance runners. We can run down critters that can outrun us. Humans have been known to run down and exhaust animals such as gazelles and the like.

But if you can do one, you can probably do the other; however badly.

True. About the only animals that can beat us over long distances are sled dogs -- and they don't do well over 60 degrees F.

We can run down critters that can outrun us. Humans have been known to run down and exhaust animals such as gazelles and the like.And one of the advantages that we have in doing this is that we can carry a certain amount of food and/or water to sustain us, which the animal cannot.
