Answer
I'd agree with FlagMichael....armies have used forced marches of many miles and still fought battles afterwards or setup defended camps or hunters would run down game using persistence hunting methods in a variety of cultures such as Tarahumara and African cultures, etc... I recall once reading a story in a hunting magazine of a marathon runner/hunter who ran down a whitetail deer to exhaustion using the same methods that American Indians had used.....in the end, he just took a picture of it to show it could be done.
In the American Civil War, Second Battle of Manassas/Bull Run, Confederate general Stonewall Jackson led his army in a forced march of 54 miles in 36 hours prior to the battle which lasted a few days. In the Battle of Glorieta Pass, the Union army forces also marched some 400 miles in 14 days.
In the famous battle at Rorke's Drift between the British army and African Zulu people, the Zulu warriors marched some 20 miles in 8 hours and fought another 11 hours after that. Watch the movie called "Zulu" for references to how their warriors could run all day and still fight a battle.
"By the time the Undi Corps reached Rorke's Drift at 4:30 pm they had fast-marched some 20 miles (30 km) from the morning encampment they had left around 8 am, they would spend almost the next eleven and a half hours continuously storming the British fortifications at Rorke's Drift."

"During the persistence hunt an antelope, such as a kudu, is not shot or speared from a distance, but simply run down in the midday heat. Depending on the specific conditions, hunters of the central Kalahari will chase a kudu for about two to five hours over 25 to 35 km (16 to 22 mi) in temperatures of about 40 to 42 °C (104 to 108 °F). The hunter chases the kudu, which then runs away out of sight. By tracking it down at a fast running pace the hunter catches up with it before it has had enough time to rest in the shade. The animal is repeatedly chased and tracked down until it is too exhausted to continue running. The hunter then kills it at close range with a spear."

"Prior to the battle, Union forces performed a forced march from Denver, over Raton Pass, to Fort Union, and then to Glorieta Pass, covering the distance of 400 miles in 14 days. Combat commenced shortly after their arrival at the battlefield, leaving them little time to recuperate.[15]"

"During the four month initial training of a Roman legionary, loaded marches were a core part of the training. Standards varied over time, but normally recruits were first required to complete 20 Roman miles (29.62 km or 18.405 modern miles) with 20.5 kg in five summer hours (the Roman day was divided into 12 hours regardless of season), which was known as "the regular step". They then progressed to the "faster step" and were required to complete 24 Roman miles (35.544 km or 22.086 modern miles) in five summer hours loaded with 20.5 kg.
Training also included some forced marches of 20â30 miles, often followed by the construction of basic defenses for an overnight position."
