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?

Funny enough there is another animal I know that can sweat, have more endurance than humans, and much faster than humans. Horses.

Imagine you fear getting caught by a horse or a human and then suddenly a human riding a horse shows up.
