Fartlek - A Great Running Workout Where You Play With Speed

[KombiPode]

I started doing this kind of fartleck style running. it is so cool. I do it in Florianopolis, Brasil and I think after a while that people are going to start copying me. Its amazing - It works out your whole body. Kind of like parkour but without the gymnastics -- Yeh, kind of like I am in the middle of a football game. Sometimes you stop to get a breath. Listen to Sonic Youth 100% while you are running and then you will get the drift of it.

hmmm. I really want to explain it. With this style you get a six pack just from running. And your legs the next day feel like you were doing dead lifts. Its full on, like you are running from the cops, dodging people, and then you break. You dont have to be so fit to begin - Its up to you when to stop but its more about your stature, how you are carrying you body, its like you are ready for a rugby impact.

@TheCuriouskid16 I know. It still makes me smile to say Fartlek. I can't get over how stupid that word sounds.

These workouts can be brutal! My coach would ride a bike, and during the hard parts of the fartlek, he would pick it up and make all of us catch him!
