As
you progress through your marathon training program you
will find that it is your long training sessions that most of your
fitness comes from because your body changes it's physiology as it is
pushed to it's limits.
If you push too hard during these sessions then you will run the risk
of injury and it will also find your recovery time will need to be
extended or else you will start to feel flat and lethargic during the
day.
So how do you stop yourself from pushing too hard during your longer
training sessions?
Easy!
If you have access to a heart rate monitor you should keep your heart
rate to between 60%-70% of your maximum heart rate. That way you are
allowing your body to push to it's limits whilst at the same time
allowing your body enough room to recover.

Marathon
Bible
"Twenty
years from now you will be more disappointed by the
things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the
bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your
sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain
