Fartlek Training

This can be made as easy or as hard as needed.

It involves changing the intensity and type of exercise without stopping.

To overload, increase times or speeds of each bit, or make the terrain more difficult (running uphill)

Part of a fartlek run could be to sprint for 10 seconds, jog for 20 seconds, repeated 4 times.

Advantages – good for sports that need different paces like football and hockey, easily changed to suit an individual.

Disadvantages – difficult to see how hard the person is training, too easy to skip the hard bits.
