Here
is another quick tip to get the most out of your marathon training
preparation:
One of the biggest killers to running a marathon is injury. You should
aim to avoid injury at all
costs because it can set your preparation back by weeks, if not months.
As you have seen, you should not increase your marathon training by
more than 10% in any given week, especially in the early stages of your
preparation.
The other trap to avoid is the `I feel great, so I'll train more'
syndrome.
You may find yourself at a stage in your preparation that you are
finding your training sessions too easy. Just be aware that if you find
yourself dropping into wanting to push more miles thorough your legs
that you will run the risk of injury.
DON'T DO IT!!!
Follow the system that has worked for hundreds of beginners and you too
will find how satisfying running a marathon really can be:
Marathon
Bible
"Far
better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious
triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with
those poor souls who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they
live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat."
--Theodore Roosevelt
