The one still running after the chase stopped meaning anything.

means Someone who chases after a person, goal, or outcome, often relentlessly and sometimes long past the point of reason.

from From 'pursue,' borrowed through French 'poursuivre' from Latin 'prosequi' — 'pro-' meaning 'forward' plus 'sequi' meaning 'to follow.' The same 'sequi' gives us 'sequel' and 'consequence,' so a pursuer is literally one who keeps following forward, word and deed moving in the same relentless direction.
