"...Were they a real measured 25 miles ..."
We get our word "mile" from the Latin "mille" that
stood for 1000 paces. The soldiers counted paces on the march, also the
Romans built roads for their troops with carefully surveyed mile posts every
1000 paces. So I think we can safely conclude that the distances mentioned
are as accurate as a good endurance ride.
