Fartlek Training

By Meily, Petch, Earn, Mint, Wise 1203

 What was our method
Fartlek, a Swedish term that means "speed
play," is a form of interval or speed training
that can be effective in improving your
running speed and endurance. In general,
fartlek training should be performed once or
twice a week. Fartlek running involves
varying your pace throughout your run,
alternating between fast segments and slow
jogs.
Advantages
- It is more flexible and not as demanding as traditional interval training.

- It doesn't have to be done on a track and can be done on all types of terrain,

such as roads, trails, or hills.

- BURNS MORE CALORIES

- It can be adapted easily to suit the individual

Disadvantages
● It need a large area to do the activity

● INCREASES INJURY RISK FOR BEGINNERS

● CAN LEAD TO AN IMBALANCED TRAINING

PLAN - Don’t incorporate tons of fartlek

intervals into every workout.

● Difficult to see how hard the person is

training.
Our Lesson plan
- Jogging 1 lap Fartlek training is meant to be free-form and fun.

- Run 2 laps First of we start with jogging one lap then running

- Jogging 1 lap two laps. Once complete a fast segment, we slow

down to jogging to below our normal running pace
- Run 2 laps
until we have fully recovered and breathing has
- Jogging 1 lap
returned to normal. Then return to running again.
- Warm up
Rationale for our practice session
● We do fartlek training because it has a lot of benefits included increasing
speed and endurance, improving cognitive focus, and burning fat.
○ Fat Burning: The fluctuation between anaerobic and aerobic exercise is excellent for
fat-burning and speeding up your metabolism to make it serve you better!
○ Speed and Endurance: This approach to running is known to boost both speed and
endurance, making it popular for a marathon and half-marathon.
○ Variability and Control: Leaving all intensity and duration decisions up to the individual
runner means less pressure to stay within a rigid framework, which means a lower chance of
injury or overexertion.
Strength
- Easy to set up
- Requires little material
- Easy to trained and
understand the process
Weakness
- We can’t control people to run

in the fast section

- Requires large area

- Our lesson didn’t take 20

minutes long as the

requirement
Area of improvement

● Time management

● Leadership
If I were to do it again
If we were to do this again, we would start by warming up and stretching before
start running. Moreover, we will tell the instruction more clearly because it is
important to be careful for excessive fartlek training which may lead to injury.
