Think of coevolution as an arms race. The rabbit population develops faster running ability and the fox population must have variant individuals that can keep up and these individuals are the ones who will be reproductively successful and leave these traits to the next generation of foxes and the alleles in the fox population change in frequency. Meanwhile the slower rabbits are eliminated from the population and the faster rabbits are reproductively successful, and so on.

Only the limitations of physics and the realities of variant organisms keep this arms race within the confines of the physical and biological world.
