Each week I will be posting the Friday Fartlek Run Sessions, most that you can do in under 60 minutes to enhance your running. Fartlek is a Swedish term that is often used by runners and it means speed-play. See the previous post about training intensity to know how hard to work. If you are working directly with Coach Ray he will in most cases prescribe either a Pace Zone or Heart Rate Zone to work within if you are training with these tools.
Running at maximum intensity for about an hour will be done at or just below your threshold pace. When an event is longer than this your race pace will be further below threshold at Tempo pace. The best way to prepare the body to handle this intensity is to spend time running at it. This workout is great to include early in your build-up to expose the body to a slightly higher intensity.

This session is great for breaking up a steady run and giving you exposure to a range of training paces. As the fatigue levels get greater in your legs, you need to push harder at higher intensities. However there is still sufficient rest after each rep. This session is great for runner’s of all abilities, and is particularly effective for 10km and half marathon runners and triathletes.
