What you are going to say about walking as conditioning exercise?

I don't really see waking as a conditioning exercise.
It may contribute toward weight control but our bodies are well adjusted to the aerobic act of walking and it really does not utilise our anaerobic systems at all.

My idea was to compade jogging and walking. You can get all the benefits of jogging, but you don't batter your legs and back. You can increase the work done and stay active for longer time and in the same time don't over do anything... Oder great benefit is just that you are relaxed and have some time to think about your problems. No distractions and no brainwashing sources around!

Just finished a book about Rocky Marciano. From the time he was twelve years old until the day retired he walked- he would take several long, brisk walks everyday. Dempsey walked. John L. Sullivan walked. Many of the old time trainers - Ray Arcel for example- didn't advocate running long distances. Rather they talked about "sharpening" the wind, with a routine that combined walking at a fast pace for a minute (to simulate the between rounds period) and then alternately running and sprinting for three minutes, in random intervals.

Interval training is a different story and I definitely advocate its usage.

I often thought the idea of Fartlek training could be more tailored for boxing
