Marathon Training Sessions

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.
