If you mean "speaking so fast it's hard to understand", 2 and 3 are ok. 1has a different meaning. We'd generally use "keep up" rather than catch up in this usage. I can't keep up with you. You are talking very fast. Could you please slow down a little? This would be a phrase that may mean what you are think of and asks the person to help you by slowing down.
