Thursday Training – Speed session – Pyramid fartleks @ Green Park
Fartlek is defined as “continuous training with interval training.” The word “fartlek” is Swedish for “speed play,” highlighting its focus on a medley of fast and slow bursts of running during the duration of the workout.
Aim of the session is to help increase your speed by raising your lactate threshold and to allow your body to adapt to different speeds.
You will alternate jogging and sprinting in ever escalating intervals, reach a peak then descend at similar intervals.
