Needs a stamina factor. At a long enough distance (how long, I don’t know) a human can outrun a horse. I’m sure many of those were short-run top speeds.
Humans are the ultimate endurance predator. A human can catch a cheetah; while the big cat is undeniably faster than the human, they’ll wear themselves out and be incapacitated, while the human can just keep a normal walking pace the whole time and eventually catch up.
