Some of the world’s best runners swear by a training method built around one simple idea: forget the pace and play with speed. So what makes fartlek so effective?
With Spencer preparing to train in Kenya, where Fartlek is a staple among elite runners, he and Oli Patrick break down the brilliantly named Swedish concept of “speed play” - and how it differs from intervals, over-unders, progression runs and steady sessions.
They unpack what happens to your body when you repeatedly change pace, why elite runners build Fartlek into their training, and how learning to speed up, recover and go again can prepare you for the unpredictable demands of race day.
