Treadmill Workouts - Fartlek Workout
Fartlek ('Speed Play') training is to perform random intervals - no set pattern. Fartlek workouts are of particular use for sports-specific workouts whereby you may be performing randomly during that sporting event, such as basketball, soccer etc.
Although Fartlek training would typically be performed outdoors (pitch or track) as a team, you can create your own Fartlek workouts. The sample treadmill Fartlek workout below follows no set pattern and is designed for an advanced trainer.
I (GP) have also added two outdoor sample Fartlek running workouts to the website, review:
Watson Fartlek - Flat Road Run
Hill Fartlek - Hilly Road Run
