no.

if they're after you, and they're relatively close, with no obstacles, and you're both on foot, they're gonna catch you.

Depends on what you mean by outrun.

Those animals are going to run faster over short distances .

But a well conditioned human can outrun any of those over a long distance especially if its warm/hot (between having no fur and being able to sweat, humans avoid overheating far better than any other land animals)

When you consider what bears have to defend themselves from constantly, it's no wonder they're so adverse to humans.

Trick question. You stand your ground and fight the bear.

Typically nothing on two feet is beating anything on four.

Nope. If you're on foot and a brown or black bear wants to catch you, it's going to catch you. Even Usain Bolt couldn't outrun a grizzly bear that's going full speed. The average person isn't going to be able to outrun an elephant either. They're huge but they can run up to 25 mph.

Yes humans have the best long distance stamina over any animal other than maybe horses, but no humans other than maybe prime Usain Bolt can outrun an apex predator's initial scary fast burst to escape first.

Evolution. Humans are built to run with stamina, not speed.

Unless they are olympion level fitness and the terrain isn't too unstable, and even then, no, probably not. Quadrapeds are the most powerful, deadliest land animals and apex predators consist of that group for good reason. 4 legs vs 2 legs? Which do you think gives you more stability and acceleration? Not to mention you are constantly getting a upper and lower body workout just by moving around.

I thought wolves/dogs in general could run for ridiculous amounts of time also? Like isn't that why sled dogs do so well traveling huge distances?
