Fartlek

With all nearby Strava segments firmly out of reach due to the number of elite runners in Gothenburg, and Elin a world away so no hope of indirectly setting any CR on the women’s leaderboard, I have limited myself to low heart rate runs and some hill climbing for the last month. However, this morning I was joined by William for a 4 km fartlek run around the neighbourhood. As a form of unstructured speedwork, fartlek runs are, as the name suggest, playful, mixing jogging with strides that were close to maximum effort, which today meant 3:11 min/km pace.
