Why has the evolution of predators and their prey been called a co-evolution arms race?

Because when, say prey, develop faster running ability this causes selection for faster running ability in the predator. If prey develop better camouflage then predators are selected on the basis of better eyesight and then prey turns around and is selected on the basis of better camouflage, or some other adaption that insures survival and reproductive success of individual prey. An arms race that is constrained by what is physically possible and what evolution can tinker p on what is already there.
