I'm unaware of any roman legion running 49 miles nonstop with their full equipment even once, I think the Aussie misspoke when he made the claim they did it over and over again.

Be that as it may, the prehistoric Australian Aboriginals are still extinct. Their speed and strength didn't help them outrun/outmuscle extinction.
