But re: JFK’s physical fitness program occurred in 1960-62. Nobody then thought of running marathons except for a few Olympian candidates and then as solo training not the mass events of today. Non specific athletic shoes were Keds, etc.

Right; when they came across a location with good shelter, water, game and other food sources nearby, they might stay for a couple of generations, and the grandkids curious about the landscape over the next hill would explore and tell them "Hey, nicer over there, let's move".
