I have read it. Some of it numerous times.
Have you read it?
It does not say it is Poetic Legends? Where did you get that?

If you've read it many times why are you missing the point 
Yes I've read it.
It comes from the Khuddhaka Nikaya which is know by followers of Buddha's Teachings as Poetical. The Buddhavamsa is based on Legends hence Poetical Legends.
' It is the fifth and last section of the Pali Sutta Pitaka (“Basket of Discourse”). Although it contains some very early works, it as a collection is later than the other four Nikayas and much more varied in form and content. It contains all the important poetic works in the Pali canon ' |

If the Buddhavaṃsa is a Sutta Buddhist are not suppose to believe, how many other Suttas are there that have been dismissed by Buddhists as believable?

What might happen if a Buddhist does a walking meditation for 8 or more hours?
Have you ever done a meditation for over 4 hours and it seemed like 10-15 minutes long?

Can you provide references from various Suttas that support that position?
