Modern predators rarely use endurance running for hunting. And our eyes evolved for foraging, not hunting. This hypothesis apparently faces a lot of scrutiny.
I don't really know that much about this stuff but I know that our eyes developed in the front of our head in order to create a field of depth perception, that unfortunately, isn't all that necessary when foraging. Eyes in the front of your head is a trait related to specifically to hunting predators, with maybe a few exceptions that I cant remember.
Moreover, since we are intelligent creatures, the likely hood that we evolved from a sole foraging species doesn't make all that much sense. What develops and promotes intelligence is hunting and laying traps for other animals, not foraging in the grass for berries. That came trait however, developed alongside with our endurance for running, and it later became dominant after we figured out it was way easier to find berries than to chase after deer or what not. Foraging animals don't become intelligent, hunters do.
