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.
Showing your body race pace efforts is important for developing pacing control for your event. These intervals are great for developing your race speed for a half marathon or longer. This session is great for runners and triathletes especially those running a half marathon or longer.

Building your top end speed is important. The best way to do this is to ensure that you have a good rest between reps and can continue to run at that top end speed. This session is great for runners and triathletes especially those running 5-10km events.

The ability to sustain a high pace is important, especially at the end of a half or full marathon (especially in an Ironman 70.3 or full Ironman). Getting familiar with that high pace can be achieved by having a substantial rest between reps. This session is great for runners and triathletes especially those doing a half marathon or longer.
