Early humans used running for hunting, see persistence hunting.
Animals who hunt for food still need strategy. They hunt together, with few animals upwind pushing prey into a trap of waiting animals downwind. Predicting where prey will be while running is also very useful.

Running is important, but running is not prefered if you can quietly and easily kill animals. e.g. You catch fish with a trident, instead of running fish along the river.
