Walking does count toward marathon training – as long as you stick to these rules

- Your walking is a small percentage of total mileage. (Example given is 64 km running per week, 6.4 km of walking.)
- You use it to conserve energy for key sessions like tempo runs and long runs.
- You're injured or very sore.
Consider run/walks instead of lengthy walk-onlys.
