A typical dog, i.e not one bred for racing will be able to notch up 30+ mph. The problem with outrunning one is not your top speed but your rate of acceleration. Like any mammal, dogs can attain near their top speed in a relatively short space of time. Relative to you that is.
Luckily for us, dogs can't draft. Once you're ahead, keep going and don't turn any corners.
