We might move at a glacial pace, but we can keep it up for many hours with a bit of practice. Back in high school, anybody could beat my 5' 2" body in a sprint, but give me even two miles and the jocks would be eating my nerd dust. I love cross country running. One of the few sports I was really good at.

Humans have used this to hunt, driving their game to exhaustion.
