When Lothair got curious and questioned someone, he learned that running was a major part of Lynn's Army's training. They didn't have much else to do every day besides train, so they ran.
They didn't practice Martial Skills or marksmanship. They just ran.
They skipped breakfast every morning and went for a run before eating. It had become tradition.

"Their provocation is clearly meant to draw us over. But look—who do
