Not so according to this. But who knows. Apparently humans are among the best at long distance running.

Yeah, we domesticated horses and ride them because we can outrun them. You and the writer of this article are full fledged morans. Congrats!
Who has ever documented humans as a species regularly outrunning horses as a species?
A couple of elite endurance guys outran some mediocre horses that were probably cart or plough horses and that sets some myth in motion.
I can assure you that the first domesticated horses were not captured by guys running them down.
