That’s why running was such a prized and constantly practiced ability.
They sure as heck weren’t running down animals.
“Can’t catch me! Can’t eat me!”
I thought the bush people ran down their prey? Persistence hunting? Seems like we can run a really long way over time and most animals can’t.

Well, walk them down any way.
That was how they used to catch wild horses. They would walk up to a herd and spook them. The horses would run to the next water hole, the hunters would walk up and spook them again. They would just keep doing this until the herd was exhausted and pick out the horse they wanted and lead it away.
They also capture cheetahs this way.
Animals have great speed but humans have endurance.
