Train to Race!
Train to race, don't race to train! That rule is the gauge that can successfully monitor intensity. If your mile times are getting slower with the same or increased sensed effort, you're either starting too quickly, not giving yourself enough recovery, or both. Run at a pace you are able to hold constantly throughout the session. If you are able to run slightly faster on the final mile or miles, you've likely worked in the proper coaching area.
Know When to Say When!
Occasionally it's good to stop before it is too late. End the workout feeling like you might run another mile at the training pace. This requires you to truthfully guage yourself. You can push further than what is constructive if you have a robust psychological push or tendency. This may not play in your favor if you don't make a fair evaluation of your physical condition.
A few tricks you can do avoid runner's burnout is determining goals for yourself. When you have something to visualise and aim towards then you will find yourself doing miles better. Make sure you change exercises up, if you are a runner then go biking or swimming. Try to enroll for a race exclusively for fun so you aren't just participating in hard races all the time. Take a break once in a while. It is OK to take a couple of days off and maybe even a week. You'll come back refreshed and full of energy.
Some reliable advice I have is to have workout mates! Intense, solitary workouts are great for your marathon training but a little time getting your sweat on with a mate is great for your soul. Ensure you do not join too many races; you would not want to burn yourself out!
