  1. I overheard the end of a conversation a couple of tri-folks were having
    and I thought I heard them use the term "fartleck" (sp?) repeatedly.
    What struck me as odd (in addition to the term itself) was to me, it
    sounded like they were describing a type of intervals training for
    running.

    Can someone enlighten a fella and also let us know if it's applicable
    to cycling?

  2. You have a gmail account but you don't know how to do a google search
    for "fartlek"? Because that seems incongruous.

    -RJ, avoids Finnish runners, but might make an exception for an
    'Inga'....

    Inga used to be a guy.

  4. Mr. Jeremiah,

    Thanks for the spelling tip.

    It would be informative get the perspective/insight of the readers of
    this group.

    Anyone else would like to help?

    Thanks,

    -Eric

  6. Hi Eric.

    Forgive me if I seem harsh, but the perspective/insight of this group
    is almost never informative.

    By the way, my implication that 'fartlek' was Finnish was wrong. It's
    Swedish.

    Think along the lines of intervals but without using timer or a rigid plan. Just
    like a race the high intensity work isn't premeasured or regularly scheduled or
    all the same time/distance/heart-rate.
