Long-distance walks vs Half marathon?

Recently, I ve participated in a 30 miles walk for charity. It was tough, but worth it. While I was walking for 30 miles, I had a thought how this particular task compare to a marathon.

Obviously marathon is harder, but I m curious to know if I can take it on. How does a 30 miles walk compare to 13.1 of jogging?

    compared in what manner? you are burning more calories walking 30 miles than running a marathon.

    As to general fitness then running would be harder since your pace is much faster.

    When running the pace or speed along with whether you take breaks or not determines how hard the run is.
