Spending time running at or near your threshold pace will develop your ability to sustain a fast past and also build your tolerance to lactic acid. This session is great for all runners and triathletes. 10km runners will benefit from this style of session as it simulates race effort. Longer distance runners even including ultra-runners will also benefit as your effort will build to this intensity on long sustained climbs.

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.
