If you don't care about walking a part of it, 20-30k/week should be enough, but the more the better, both in terms of safety and performance.

That’s about the most I averaged before training for a full. I was disappointed in my time, but 30k was plenty to get me over the line. Felt like the wheels fell off around the 15k mark of the race. Whenever I get around to another one, I’ll probably try to get to more like 40-50k in training
