Fartlek
A fartlek can be a great way to increase motivation and make running more interesting. In a fartlek, it is up to the runner to decide when and how long to run at a certain pace. A fartlek includes short sprints of 50 to 100 meters in length, fast segments of 30 seconds to three minutes, and brisk passages lasting over three minutes.
Whether you are a beginner or advanced, there are some rules to consider in order to make the training successful. For example, there should always be a jog or walk break after exposing yourself to a hard tempo load. The faster and longer the segment was, the more extensive the break should be. The duration of the breaks should not be too short either, so that the body can recover.
The learned knowledge is then directly applied in practice. We will explain to you what you should pay attention to during training, how you can structure the method, and when it is useful to use it.
In combination with the previously acquired knowledge from the running coach training course, we will explore what exactly is achieved through the training method "fartlek" and who can benefit from it the most.
