My evidence is the leg proportions of most dromaeosaurids. The femur is near equivalent length with the tibia and fibula. Look at a Gallimimus, for example. The shin is longer than the thigh, though the upper part of the leg is stronger, so it can run very fast. Velociraptor, on the other hand, also has strong thighs, but all parts of the leg are equal, and they had chunkier builds than ornithomimosaurs. So if Ridley from my book  Prehistoric Past had been stalked by a Velociraptor, he could outrun it by breaking into a light jog...or maybe even outWALK it.
