Fartlek Variations

Two popular fartlek (speed training) variations are hill fartlek and timed segments. Hill fartlek begins with a normal non-stressful pace (about one minute slower per mile than 10K race pace). When you come to a hill, accelerate up and over the top--then jog to recover. When you recover, resume your original pace until the next hill.
