I'm thinking: Achilles quickly runs but cannot take him down? Or something along those lines?
Please don't use an online translator or anything. Only people who speak Latin should kindly answer this question. Thanks!

It means "Achilles runs quickly to catch him but is not able."

DWU has it dead on - other ways to word it, but those are just matters of personal preference.
Celeriter is an adverb meaning quickly, swiftly. It does not mean 'faster' and is not an absolute superlative. Superlative of celeriter is celerrime - most quickly, and superlative of the adjective celer (fast) is celerior (fastest).

"Achilles runs faster but he can't capture him"
or
"Achilles runs faster but he's not able capturing him"
Celeriter is the absolute superlative of "celer" (fast, quick) and then it translates faster, quickier.
