Wildcard Run (3.5 mile Fartlek Workout)-03/21/19

Tonight we will be doing a fartlek run. Fartlek (a Swedish word for speed play) workouts are really quite simple. After an easy-pace warm-up, you’ll ease into a pattern of alternating between a normal running pace and a faster pace for a prescribed amount of time or distance.

I’ll provide a short fartlek running primer and will also review the route prior to the workout. The route will also be marked with chalk. No headlamps will be needed tonight, but do continue to wear bright and reflective clothing if at all possible. Looking forward to enjoying the park with you!

Workout:

- 1-mile warm-up
- 2-mile fartlek (60-90 seconds fast, 60-90 seconds easy/recovery)
- Cool down run back to Kezar Stadium
(Approximately 3.5 miles total)

Tonight’s route. Please review...
