So this is pretty neat:

Humans aren't good at running fast, but we are good at running for a long time for long distances, so it's thought that we would just run after things until they got tired.

So like you know how people in horror movies would run and then look over their shoulder and Jason is somehow still there?

It’s a consequence of bipedalism, less energy consumption to run but also slower

We don’t have to stop for water, we can bring some

Same for food

Our preys didn’t have such luck
