Mostly on foot, although horses and carts would become more common in the later centuries. Remember than from the dawn of history until only 200 years ago, nothing moved faster than a horse - and for longer distances, nothing moved faster than a sailing ship.

A man can outrun a horse, over 20 miles. A man in good shape can run 26 miles in under four hours - that's a "marathon". (It's called a "marathon" because that was the distance that the Athenian messenger Phidippides ran from the plains of Marathon to Athens, to announce the Athenian victory over the Persians.) Running that far in a single pass will kill a horse.
