outrun
Leave behind sprinting
To outrun is to run faster or farther than someone or something else: She easily outran her pursuers.
The meaning extends beyond literal running to any kind of escape or exceeding: The company's growth outran its infrastructure.
Demand can outrun supply; expenses can outrun income.
If something outruns your ability to handle it, it has surpassed your capacity.
