How to Run Faster and Stronger, Using An Advanced Technique

10. FARLEK

What is it? Farlek, the Swedish for “speed play” is a fun workout that is similar to interval training, alternating moderate-to-intense bouts of running, with slower paced periods of recovery. However, unlike interval training, fartlek is unstructured and unplanned. A farlek workout might involve running to a tree, phone box or lamppost in the distance, when you feel like it and as fast as you want followed by an easy jog to recover.

It’s particularly fun to do in groups, where one person takes over and sets the pace or intervals, followed by the next person in the group. It’s unpredictable and fun, with no planning or timekeeping.

How does it improve running? It will help by making you run faster and improve your stamina.
Speed workouts are taxing and you should follow a speed day; with one or two days of easy running (or rest). This will allow you to develop speed, while reducing the risk of injury. Begin with one speed workout per week. Once you’re more advanced, you can add a second intense workout. Never do more than two speed sessions a week.
