I can fuel long runs and workouts with stuff like watermelon juice and homemade baby food
I've been really liking diluted maple syrup with a little salt for this purpose, if you're interested in branching out.

I had thought I was indefatigable while walking, but evidently not. Is there utility in training walking for a long time like that?
If you want to be able to walk for a long time, for sure. I do think there is an intensity of endurance exercise low enough that we can reasonably ask whether it's doing anything (though e.g. Ed Coyle's papers on exercise resistance suggest that the answer is probably still "yes, it is doing something", and, less robustly, a wide variety of anecdotal experience agrees), but walking on an incline with an HR of 150bpm is almost certainly quite a bit above that minimum for you.
And is there utility in persisting past "the wall"? Is "the wall" just glycogen depletion, or something else?
I'm not here to police anyone's idiolect, but I don't think this is what people typically call "hitting the wall" (for instance, mile ~22 of a competitive marathon.). In addition to the other suggestions, if you were indoors and didn't have a bigass fan or two pointed directly at you, I suspect heat was playing a role.
If you guys aren't familiar with Leukotape, it may interest you. Non-elastic medical tape that actually stays stuck to skin. Typical off-brand drugstore stuff sweats off in maybe a couple hours, for me, but I've had Leukotape stay on for five days (I realize this probably wasn't a good idea) and take out some hair when I pulled it off.
