Really fast!

Cheetah are the fastest land mammals with up to 120km/h (75mph).

But they can only run fast for about 30sec. After that they have to rest for quite a while to recover. I have seen them sitting for minutes panting next to their kill before they regained the energy to eat.

The Pronghorn (an antelope like mammal from North America) is one of the fastest land mammal species with a top speed of 90km/h (55mph). But unlike Cheetah they can maintain a high speed of 30mph for over twenty miles. Their closest relatives are Giraffes and Okapi, not antelopes.
