It works well for hunting. Humans can run longer and farther than most animals, we’re just not as fast. We can chase our prey to the point of exhaustion because we evolved the ability to cool ourselves during physical exertion. Our bodies also breathe air more effectively than most animals while running to keep our muscles fuelled with oxygen.
