I have not been able to find this topic on the forum. I'd registered for a marathon this December. I was going to walk the CF last Spring then start my training for the marathon in the summer when I come back. Unfortunately due to unforeseen events, I was not able to walk in the Spring. I've started training for the marathon and wonder if I can still walk the CF in Sept. My plan is to walk 3 days, then on the 4th day I'll send my backpack ahead and run the 25 km or so to the next albergue. I will then repeat this pattern (walk 3 days, run 1 day) for the entire CF. This way, I'll be able to get in my running mileage for the marathon training while walking the CF. After the CF, I'll return to the more conventional marathon training timetable/regimen (daily short distances then weekly long distances). Has anyone done their marathon training on the CF? Any thought or advice about my thinking? Thanks in advance for any thoughts that you might have. Buen Camino!
