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 list of exercises you can do avoid runner's burnout is defining goals for yourself. When you have something to think of and move towards then you should find yourself doing much better. Be sure to change routines up, if you normally are a runner then go biking or swimming. Try to look for a race simply for fun so you're not just doing hard races all the time. Take 5 once in a while. It is okay to take 1 or 2 days off and even perhaps a week. You may come back refreshed and full of energy.
Some great advice I have is to have workout buddies! Intense, solitary workouts are very good for your marathon training but a bit of time getting your sweat on with a friend is good for your soul. Make sure you don't sign up for too many races; you wouldn't wish to burn yourself out!
