How fast could you run if you were being chased by a tiger?

I'm sure it's pretty fast but could yo keep it up all day?
A man once ran about 40 mph for a very short period. He might even have keeled over and died after doing that for all we know.
Would it be fair to say he could run 40 miles per hour and imply that he could do this all day, every day?
That's the reasoning behind that "peak power" spec you see advertised. It might do it for a few milliseconds* but to advertise it as reliable power is a bit shady. It might even go up in smoke while doing it.
And, as Smokey points out, even if they did put out twenty watts, at what distortion level was it? It might sound truly horrible.
*But at what distortion level?
