No, that’s 30mph that they can only do for a few feet.

No, sorry, that’s not true. And another one.
TL;DR;
They can run 35mph in that short sprint you’re talking about. Then they can run at a slower (though faster than most humans) pace for a sustained period of roughly 100 feet (30ish meters for the non-'mericans).
