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.
Building consistency at race pace is an important skill for all runners regardless of race distance. This is a session Eliud Kipchoge did a couple of weeks ago in the build up to this weekends attempt at running a marathon under 2 hours. This session is great for runners and triathletes running events up to Marathon distance and longer.

Friday Fartlek Run: Clatter’s Speed Booster
In yesterday’s Clatter’s Chatter, Luke Clatworthy wrote about how he wants to work on his ability to hold a faster pace for longer & extra boost for the end of the race to overtake people at the finish. Although not designed for him, as I don’t have another suitable name for it I’m calling it Clatter’s Speed Booster. This session is perfect to develop these traits and great for runners and triathletes running events up to Half Marathon in distance.
