So,,, welcome to Friday,,, or at least its Friday for most of the world,, working an rotating schedule or something that includes weekends,, leads one to not have an exact Friday,,, however that ususally means that there are days off during the week, which IMHO are Better than weekend days !!
In life like running there are time to go fast and times to go slow,,, The Fartlek pace is simply going faster for a short burst, then slowing down to recover,,, then faster again,.. you repeat this many times so that you can then go faster for a longer period and recover quicker,,, hummm sounds like Life,,, you get goin real fast,,, and then need to slow down to recover! Cause "Life in the fast lane.... surely make you lose your mind,,,"
I attached the runners world version of Fartlek ,,
Derived from the Swedish term that means ‘Speed Play’, fartlek can provide an excellent endurance and strength session, as well as help improve your speed and race awareness. Fart=speed and lek=play
The use of 'fartlek' came about to provide a less structured approach to that of interval training. Its origins and use were developed in the 1930's. Whereas, in interval training the structure prescribes a given distance run in a given time with a given rest, fartlek's approach is to have you run at a given time, 2 minutes for example over undulating terrain or flat wherever your run may take you. The effort prescribed can be at 10k race pace to whatever speed you wish to make your effort. The rest in-between is normally at an easy pace to allow recovery before the next effort.
