Um yourself.

That page doesn't exactly scream "reliable", and doing both a regular google search and a google scholar search of "Cursorial hunting" doesn't come up with a lot.

At best that term talks about animals that chase prey over distance rather than try for quick attacks, but that's not in the same category as endurance hunting which can last an entire day.

It's all endurance hunting; it's a question of how quickly the prey is exhausted, not how long the chase goes on. See the difference between spotted hyenas (endurance) and lions (ambush). http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/content/animals/animals/mamm..., as well as plenty of other references.
