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.
Although this is a traditional speed session for 5k and 10k runners, there are benefits for those running marathon (as well as half marathon distance as well) as this session came from a marathon training plan. A session like this enhances your VO2 max and makes you a fitter runner ready to handle the higher intensities.

Maintaining a fast pace that can be sustained for close to 5km is important to develop speed for a range of events (especially for triathletes at the end of their event). This session is great for runners and triathletes preparing for an event between 5 & 10km and will also pay dividends for events up to and including a ½ marathon distance.

Maintaining a fast pace that can be sustained for 10km is important for events of that duration (especially for triathletes at the end of their event). This session is great for runners and triathletes preparing for a 10km event and will also pay dividends for events up to and including a marathon distance.
