    I doubt this. Humans are exceptionally well adapted for running. It might be the key thing that differentiates us. We probably evolved to be persistence hunters, meaning we ran down our prey. We just kept going and going until the prey overheated and we got the easy kill.

    We sweat. This is the big one. We are incredible at cooling.

    Our breathing is independent of our stride.

    Our head is stabilized.

    Our butts are overlarge for our bodies. They provide stability.

    Look up the horse vs human races. Humans tend to win long distance runs.
