If the distance is great enough a human is the fastest land creature on earth. People compete against horses in a race (I forgot the name) and regularly win, horses can’t sweat so need to rest whereas we don’t need to stop to cool down.

Humans would (and in some cases still do) chase down animals until they where exhausted and no longer able to run.

Humans are less strong because we made a compromise and traded sone of our strength for dexterity, most apes are much stronger than us because we are not able to ‘tell’ our muscles to push as hard because of the trade off we made to be able to manipulate our movements with greater precision.
