75 ICYMI - New US Air Force "fitness test" will feature walking instead of running & modified push-ups as the service is "experimenting with a choose your own adventure physical fitness test". Previously, airmen could walk instead of run only if they had a medical waiver to do so.

No. It's always been that way.
Was in AF Basic back in the early 80s and by the time training was done you had to be able to do 15 push ups and go 1.5 miles in 15 mins....among other easy qualifications....never required running.
