Fartlek Training (Speedplay)
Fartlek training [1] is a variation on continuous training. It involves
continuous training with short bursts of intense work at regular stages.
The following FC are developed:
* cardio-vascular [2] endurance
* speed
* anaerobic power
* LME of the legs
Both the aerobic and anaerobic systems are trained.
Example:
30 minute run at 75% maximum HR with a 5-10 seconds sprint every 3-4
minutes at maximum during sprints. You can increase frequency, duration of
bursts or distance covered.
You just need a stopwatch on your watch and, as you jog along, sprint for
5-10 seconds every 3-4 minutes. Another way is to use markers like trees
and telephone poles for when you increase the pace and sprint. This would
be done every 300m or so. You may like to consider a Fartlek session in
your training program, as you can train both the aerobic and ATP-PC energy
systems and it is good for variation as well as mimicking the actions found
in many field sports where bursts of effort are required.
