It is all about the pace. Most pro walkers walk faster than a lot of in shape people jog.

Back 25 years ago when I run 5 days a week I trained with a marathon runner for a year to increase my stamina. He was a pro and I had to greatly increase my pace to keep up, he about killed me the first few times we went out.
