Question

Answer 1

well if anyone ever tries it good luck! thoroughbreds are trained to win.

Answer 2

Here are some facts for you:

One of them says that a horse could run 60 miles in a day. To out run a horse at that pace you would need to travel at a constant walking speed for 20 hours - the other 4 you can rest and eat. If you want to do the 60 miles and have time to sleep and feed then do it in 12 hours at 5 miles an hour, 6 hours at 10 mile an hour.

It didnt say how many hours the horse actually did it in, it might have done the 60 miles in 4 hours (15mph)

I tihnk you have set a tricky task of outrunning a horse, over short distance they can sprint fast and can keep going faster than all but the best long distance runners for many, many miles.

If you want to outrun a horse you willhave to follow a training plan simular to the best - involving over a hundred miles of running a week, plus many other sacrifices

Think about it. Originally we were designed to move from branch to branch and then by eating left over brains and bone marrow we became intelligent!! Well some anyway!

Horse is still primeval and was designed to run over ground to escape predators.

You can no more out run a horse than you can a cheetah or a lion,but you could maybe outrun a Gorilla....

Answer 4

Jebus... Honestly i doubt you could... i mean the only reason a horse would stop running is if you stopped chasing it... even steve monagetty would struggle to out run a distance arab... my horse is just an average run of the mill tb and he can work all day... a trotting horse can easily out move a jogging adult... and a horse could trot for hours...

Answer 5

If people could outrun horses there would be no need to ride them.... people can outrun horses over very short distances, maybe 50 yards or so, because they need a moment or two to sort their legs out and move into a gallop (they walk, trot  and canter first to get the rythym right)

Only way to beat them would to take a shorter route across ground they cant cover!

Answer 6

you have got zero chance so forget it.Horses have everything in their favour and no human can match them for speed or endurance ,anyone who thinks differently is living on another planet.

Answer 7

I don't know about out running a horse but

all the things I have read over the years

stated that a good healthy man could walk

down a horse any time.  I think that means

that a person could at least (over a long

distance) keep up with a horse.

Answer 8

They set up a race in the spring between some Bengals player and a horse at River Downs.  The news reported that the Bengals player won, but he had a huge head start and the horse had to break out of a starting gate and we know that horses aren't their fastest until a few strides after the gate.  So the race was made for the person to win.

People can't run faster than horses.
