Post-M pain with & without run/walk in race

Hi, I run/walk on my long runs & am thinking about whether to do it in the race itself (my 1st).
I'd like to hear the experiences of 40-somethings with post-marathon pain. Especially, those who have done marathons both with run/walk and with continuous running.
How much pain do you avoid in the subsequent days with run/walk?
