i would disagree 100% a coyote can run like forrest gump. 
seen them pushed by hounds for up to 30 plus miles(by GPS)the longer the race my money goes on the coyote.
A yote pushed by hounds does not run for miles and miles,running full tilt. I'm sure they will run more or less distance depending on terrain .They stop when they think they are safe and check their back trail. If tired they will bed up and rest, till the danger gets to close.
