Because I'm horrible at pacing, I typically run the entire first 20 miles of a marathon (usually too fast), and then I'm forced to walk during the last 6 miles. But most running coaches will tell you that walking during a long race is a perfectly acceptable strategy. It's a good idea to walk through at least a few aid stations, you get more liquid in you that way.
