The session for Tuesday is speedwork so i am planning a 'Fartlek' session, for those who aren't quite sure what this means the word 'Fartlek' is a Swedish term for speedplay and all you do have to do is literally play with speed, unlike an interval session where the drills that you do are for a set distance or a set time, Fartlek can be however long or short you want the distance to be, it can be uphill, downhill or flat, off road and on road etc.
We will start with an approx 1.1/2 mile warm up and then over a 3 mile course we will do the Fartlek session, some uphills, some downhills and some flat sections but plenty of recovery time in between so members in the sub 60 min 10k category if you fancy giving it a go come along and join in.

Thanks

Kev
