Week 9, Day 57

So much for having Mondays off! Today was 6 mile fartlek day (enough sniggering from the back row please). For all those who are interested in what fartlek is, it means "speed play" in Swedish. Basically you pick a target and run at a set pace (depending upon the distance) until you reach it. So for example, if you choose a spot 100 metres away, then you'd sprint to that point. From there you continue to jog until you feel recovered, then repeat the process, but vary the distances and pace. So all in all it's a pretty good workout. For a full lowdown on fartlek, click here

Tomorrow's a rest day, so I'll be back on Wednesday.
