RE: 10K training run W8D1 (fiftyrunstillmay 9/50 & Run for Steem)
Good luck! Now can you explain a novice what a fartlek is? When I read it at Eddie's posts I thought it was a place lmao

I'm not an expert but I can try to explain it with my own words. A fartlek run is just a run with a combination of fast and slow run. In this case it was 15" fast and then 15" slow but it can be 40"/40" of even long fartlek like 1 km at a fast pace and then an active rest of 2 or 3 minutes.
And I just looked on Wikipedia and apparently fartlek means speed play in Swedish!
