Im watching 300 and so I googled soldiers walked 20 miles a day, on top of other stuff like fighting. Did they have bad joints? (Not including injuries).
We can injures from running and need a few days/weeks to recover. Did they just take breaks from fighting?
EDIT: Thanks for all the great answers everyone. Interesting stuff y’all have brought up!

I don’t know about the knees but can I make something clear.
The 300, and the unknown number of men they are re-enacting were not Roman.
They were Greek, Spartan to be precise, from the Greek city of Sparta.
Kanye got it wrong in Black Skinhead but you don’t have to.
As for the Romans army’s knees- they were probably fine- they moved relatively small distances each day due to the vastness of the convoy.
