For most runners, the marathon is the longest run they have ever attempted Many coaches believe
that the most important element in marathon training is the long run Recreational runners commonly try to reach a maximum of about 20 miles in their longest weekly run and about 40 miles a week in total when training for the marathon More experienced marathoners may run a longer distance During marathon training, adequate recovery time is crucial If fatigue or pain is felt, it is recommended to take a break for a couple of days or more to let the body heal Overtraining is a condition that results from not getting enough rest to allow the body to recover from difficult training It can actually result in a lower endurance and speed and place a runner at a greater risk of injury.

Like schools in Britain and other English speaking countries, those in the U.S have also always
stressed “character” or “social skills” through extracurricular activities, including organized sports Because most schools start at around 8 o’clock every morning and classes often do not finish until 3 or 4 o’clock in the afternoon, such activities mean that many students do not return home until the early evening There is usually a very broad range of extracurricular activities available Most schools, for instance, publish their own student newspapers, and some have their own radio stations Almost all have student orchestras, bands, and choirs
Many different sports are also available and most schools share their facilities - swimming-pools, tennis courts, tracks, and stadiums - with the public Often the students themselves organise and support school activities and raise money through car washes, baby-sitting, or by mowing lawns Parents and local business often also help a group that, for example, has a chance to go to a state music competition, to compete in some sports championship, or take a camping trip Such activities not only give pupils a chance
to be together outside of normal classes, they also help develop a feeling of “school spirit” among the students and in the community.
