Fetch said I could use my Edge 800 and convert to walking. I haven't tried this as most of my walks are still only 10 kms or so but as I am going longer, this would get harder...
However, I have gained a wrist Garmin today, thanks to an incredibly helpful and kind Fetchie ☺️

In theory, changing the category of a training entry should trickle through to Conquercise. But there's a small window of time where it doesn't.

Here's the scenario where it works...

1) accidentally upload a walk as a ride
2) your training gets put into the Game Queue.
3) The Game Queue distributes your training data to all the games you play.
4) The game (Conquercise in this case) gives you zone hits attributed to biking.
5) you change the category of your training to a walk.
6) Conquercise is told to update the relevant zone hits to walking.
7) Hooray.

But... if you are quick off the mark (by which I mean, less than a couple of minutes after the training is uploaded), then step (5) happens before step (3). When this happens, and Conquercise tries to do step (6), it can't find any zones to alter, because the training hasn't arrived yet.

Here's how to work around it... amend your category once again e.g. change your walk to Cross Training - Zebra Riding or something, and then back to what you actually want it to be. This should trigger Conquercise to apply the right category to your zone hits.

It's on my bug list :-)

Zebra riding... Hmmmm, can I log Ostrich riding in S Africa as training, for a badge ;)
I already have the S Africa badge I think... But, well, you know ;)

From what I’ve heard there are many such named zones.

It never occurred to me to name my zones after myself!

I still see him (Eccobenny) around quite often, although he doesn't log his training on here any more.

I've just visited (and tied for) Wayne's World. Don't know who Wayne is and unfortunately only tying means you can't change the name.
