FOR TODAY'S WORKOUT, RUN FOR 40-60 MINUTES: This is one of 2 to 4 sessions you'll do each week to maintain and fine-tune the endurance you develop on your weekly long runs. Your goal in this training program is to run a 3:30 marathon, that is, to do the marathon in 3 hours and 30 minutes. This time goal will guide the speed of your training runs and make sure you don't go too fast. For a 3:30 marathon, you'll run each mile of the marathon in 8 minutes. These per-mile times are called your "mile splits."
