Not even in theory. Nothing can travel faster than light in a vacuum. Even at the speed of light, it would still take a few seconds to circle the Earth so you wouldn't be able to catch up with yourself.

Even if you could run that fast the most you would find is your shadow because an object (you) cannot be in two places at the same time, but your shadow can only move at the speed of light.

Why should you run at all to catch/punch yourself.

You can't stretch, or go back in time, no matter how fast you run, so no.
