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.

Friday Fartlek Run: Phil Mosley’s Tempo Run B
Tempo is an intensity that means different things to different athletes and coaches. For me, I define Tempo as an effort comfortably below the Threshold pace. It is the sort of intensity that if you had to you could maintain for a duration longer than a half marathon. It is higher than the aerobic running pace, sort of in the mid-zone between the two levels. Spending more than 15-20 minutes at this intensity, helps the body practice clearing the small amount of lactic acid generated at this pace, without needing to slow down to do so. This is a perfect session for runners and triathletes running events up to full marathons and further.

Friday Fartlek Run: Steve Trew’s Running Faster and Faster Workout
At the end of the day when you are racing, speed is what counts. The faster you run, well….the faster you run. To devlop speed you need to practise running fast (and have a range of other physiological components). This session is designed to develop your pure speed and is great for 5km runners and sprint distance triathletes.

Friday Fartlek Run: Phil Mosley’s Hill Rep Run C
Running in hills develops leg strength as well as the strength of the tendons and ligaments around the knee and ankle. Developing leg strength is important, as it makes for a more powerful contraction of the leg muscles to propel you forward faster. Including hills regularly, particularly early in your build up will see great dividends in the improvement of your running. This workout is great to include early in your build up to develop leg strength.
