Man vs Horse marathon: runners have closely comparable times vs horses, and won on a few occaisions.
Kalahari tribesmen use their superior running powers to run down antelopes to exhaustion on a regular basis!

Sounds like our lightly armored River pirates should be running much faster over long distances than those heavily loaded Swadian cavalrymen!
