Track Workout
- Fartlek 2/2 Main SetObjective: Fartlek means speed play
in Swedish. You can think of fartlek training as interval training by time instead
of by distance. In this workout you will run two minutes harder - faster than
race pace - followed by two minutes easier - easier than race pace. If you have
no races on the horizon, use your 10K pace. Try to do all of the harder intervals
at the same pace, and all of your slower intervals at a consistent pace. This
workout builds endurance, trains active recovery, and builds mental toughness. For
newer runners: - Do not start too hard.
- The easy
interval is still running or jogging; no stopping or walking allowed!
