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.
Combining both threshold and VO2 max intensities in a single workout will build your finishing speed. This will pay dividends as you get towards the finish of your event. This session is great for runners and triathletes preparing for an event up to a half marathon in distance.
