I've found that I have to be a little more disciplined doing fartleks though because I don't have the preset lenghts (200, 400, etc) like you do on the track.RunnerDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209079063314051451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007050355748263232.post-38513122863992948662009-04-25T08:17:00.000-04:002009-04-25T08:17:00.000-04:00Fartleks are my favorite way to get in speed work....Fartleks are my <B>favorite</B> way to get in speed work. I don't live near a track, which would be ideal, but really I just love the freedom to say start at this light pole and finish at the one up there. My problem is that I get too into the speed-work, and run too fast, so when I stop I inevitably revert to a walk instead of back to my normal pace. But I figure, at least I got my legs moving faster!

I've learned that on rainy or cold days when I'm stuck on the treadmill, if I do fartleks it really really helps break the boredom.
