None of the big cats run very far. They pounce, and they may use a short sprint going flat out to try to catch prey, but they can't do much in the way of distance running. Even the cheetah, the swiftest of land animals (which can reach freeway speeds) can only move like this for a minute or two before tiring. And any big cat that can't make the kill in a short time will give up and regroup (rest) to try again later.
