Weekend Fartlek QWOD

Fartlek.  Tee-hee.
Fartlek. Tee-hee.
Fartlek, pronounced fart-lick, is a hilarious word.  It makes me giggle like a little school girl.  (Note: I'd make a very ugly school girl, at 6'1", 190 lbs.)  But a fartlek has more going for it than just humor.  Fartleks are a great way to increase your overall speed and stamina.  Fartlek is a Swedish term meaning "speed play" and is a form of interval or speed training where you basically change the tempo of your run, instead of just going at the same old boring pace.

This weekend Quick Workout Of the Day will require you to put on your minimalist shoes (or just go barefoot), go outside and run!  Keep it intense, and give it 100%.

Have a great weekend, and have a great workout!

PS  True or false: I overly used the word "fartlek" in this post?
