A Sample Fartlek Treadmill Workout For the warm-up, walk or slow jog for five minutes at 3.5 miles hour at a seven percent incline. Next, run for one mile at six miles per hour at a one percent incline. Without changing the incline, have a rest set by slowing your speed to five miles per hour for.Fartlek training on a treadmill allows a competitive runner to have an idea of how it feels to run at a certain rate of speed for a given period of time or distance.
Exact measurements are capable because of the treadmill console screen. A runner could use fartlek training for three miles and know exactly how it feels at certain paces.Fartlek workouts can vary from short and unstructured to longer, more complex efforts, depending on your fitness level and training goals. They’re a perfect fit for the treadmill because there are endless ways to vary your pace using shorter and longer intervals, and they help the miles fly by. Workout 1: Fartlek Fun.
Fartlek workouts are simply intervals of speed based on the Swedish translation “speed play”. They can be done as a structured workout or randomized with both providing benefits to the runner. On the treadmill fartlek runs are a great way to break up the workout!
Treadmill Workouts Fartlek Workout Fartlek (‘Speed Play’) training is to perform random intervals no set pattern. Fartlek workouts are of particular use for sports-specific workouts whereby you may be performing randomly during that sporting event, such as basketball, soccer etc.Fartlek training sessions are great for relieving the monotony of interval training on a track or treadmill and can really help to dampen down the mental fatigue which can flame from prolonged periods of more structured interval training.The word “fartlek” is a Swedish term which means “speed play.” It is a training method that blends continuous (endurance) training with interval (speed) training.
Fartlek runs challenge the body to adapt to various speeds, conditioning you to become faster over longer distances.The best way to do a fartlek run on a treadmill would be to warm up for about 10 to 15 minutes. You would then run as fast as you feel comfortable, in that moment.
You can then speed it up or slow it down from there and rest when you need to by manually speeding the treadmill up or slowing it down. How often should I be doing fartleks?What Is Fartlek Training You can set aside your timers and smartwatches for this type of training. Whether you’re on a treadmill, out on a trail, or on the road, Fartlek training is simply the ability to alternate between bursts of speed and then times of recovery.A 20-minute threshold run is the perfect treadmill session, as you can maintain an even pace and keep your heart rate at the right level for the maximum training benefits. “Aim for 80 to 85 per.
Fartlek training is ‘lamp posting’ in a more varied form. If you have no idea what lamp posting is, it’s basically this: you jog along at an even pace for maybe two lamp posts, sprint to the next lamp post, and then drop back to an even pace for another two while sucking in the breaths in readiness for attacking the third.If training on a cardiovascular machine such as a treadmill selecting the ‘random’ programme would somewhat simulate Fartlek training but you could also just change the pace and incline manually throughout your run depending on how you are feeling.The Lost Art of Fartlek.
See how watching hoops on a treadmill can improve your running. Run Together. Group workouts can elevate your training-if you know how to run well with others.
Fartlek training, a form of interval training, is a very different workout than steady state cardio (long jogs). So you need to be very cautious in your preparation for this training. With higher intensity training, your hamstrings can give you fits. Your hamstrings can easily tighten up during sprints, and it can take days to work out the knots.
Fartlek, which means ‘speed play’ in Swedish, is a common type of running training. It involves continuous running with varying intervals throughout. Simply put, Fartlek training is.

We did these types of workouts regularly in high school. Ran a circle around the park and our coach would randomly blow the whistle for us to stop and start. Goal was to catch as many as possible for each “on” session.
I did some at the gym, this morning. At it’s always nice to break up any otherwise boring workout with some nice random speed work.
This is going to help me so much prior to Navy OCS. Thank you so much!
great but warm up has to be about 2 miles or 20 minutes before fartlek
Have you been encountering problems running in shorts as a woman in Bahrain?
doing the Fartleks at marathon pace, and then picking it up to 5k pace, then back to marathon pace is too much. You need active recovery. You won’t get that from marathon pace. You need to be at a “conversational pace”, then pick it up to 5k pace, then back to conversational pace, but not too slow. I go over it in detail in my video, here:

I love these 30 min ‘run along’ workouts, been using your previous videos on ALL my runs…..now I can alternate with this one YAY!!
Thanks. best tip ever. I’ve always hated interval training. This sounds fun though. I’m going to try this tonight.
My guess you are running at 74 percent of your heart rate… I run between 78 percent to 82 percent… it’s a lovely relaxed pace…
A goal is not always meant to be reached, it often serves simply as something to aim at.

I could run behind coach Holly all day 😉 but on a serious note how should I train around a knee injury?
This is NOT a fartlek session; it is an interval session where the duration of the “hard” efforts and the recovery between them is predetermined. The very antithesis of a true fartlek session!
Awesome video!! Thanks for posting such a picturesque and shaky free run.
Jesus christ i find it sooo hard to understand english people, american english is soo much clearer than british english, they pretty much perfected the language
ah yes indeed, so i was fartlekking earlier then..is this the same thing as interval training?.it sounds to be so..go fast for a bit, go slow for a bit, then fast, slow and so on, i did a 43 minute run of this earlier with more fast then slow mixed in and it felt great, really good workout, great speed work..
Great video, as always. You mentioned speeding up during the chorus of a song, and slowing down during the verses. What then is the difference is between Fartlek training and interval training?
Thanks for a fab video! Coach Holly is goals AF! Any chance of some vids with her on her training regimes? One day I hope to look half that good!
Good exercise Heather but your speech is like always as fast as your sprints and sometimes difficult to understand for non native speakers
This looks like a great workout. However, I don’t have a treadmill and I live in an area that doesn’t require treadmill running in the winter. What’s the best way to replicate this workout when running outdoors?
Hi how do you no your 5 k pace I can run 6 minutes when do 5 k as my quickest first mile then second third about 6 30? Also how do you no your marathon pace thanks
rather than perceived effort -what is the pace your runner is running on each? 7 min mile to 9 min mile?
Ran this workout with my kids. Really enjoy the follow along videos. Helps with new runners or kids that are new to training. Even more experienced runners like myself can benefit from these. Thanks
When you say we are doing so good, how do you know we are if you can’t see us? I’ve been jogging all this time ����…just kidding
Awesome tutorial! I just used this to explain Fartlek training to my 8th grade fitness class. Thank you!
Very cool session:) thank you very much! Greets from Austria
this is actually great for treadmill too, because it breaks up the monotony. Although the way i do it is the way my running club does, which is a bit shorter more intense bursts more frequently throughout the fairly easy paced run. Its great though… because if you’re doing track and then your long easy stuff…. well, you can just rope it all into these fartleks… its all there.. the easy, the fast.
You are looping the vid…
Either that or you are running into some seriously creepy deja vu:P
before watching the video i was expecting a tim don style..
I run just to stay in shape and I find that fartlek is simply more fun than a steady, plodding jog.
Having lived in the Emirates for quite a while I can say Bahrain looks a million times better. Well done Bahrain.
Neuromuscular coordination? You’ve declared that without offering reasonable rationale as to why it’s in any way necessary. How’s that different from say walking? It looks like a cool session, but don’t oversell it.
Would love to know what happens physiologically that causes one to plateau if they only train in one way?
for safety, always attach the safety clip to your clothes as well. otherwise you will end up on one of those viral fail videos were go go flying through a wall
I do this but with flat out sprints, 300m sprint, 300m jog. 5 min warm up and warm down. Its great fun feeling sick begging for it to end. The improvements in the overall running is worth it.
Using music….. I like it. Except if I did that, Slipknot May have me tuning an all out Sprint for 2hrs straight. �� Time to soften it up and stick with my favorite: Metallica. ��
shaved off 22 mins over my HM time thanks to those little buggers:D
i recently started training and i run 5k but i think i wasn’t fast as i’d like to be and i’d like to have a faster pace. Is this going to help me? is it also going to help me run 10k?
I usually do a 10min warm up run on a treadmill & some press up & situps then go for my morning run, is that just as good you think?
Nice, its good to know my made up workouts are actually somewhat legit!
I love the follow along videos ���������� please make an updated one on strength training for runners so i can follow along ���� btw, how do you train a dog so it would stay by your side??!����
1:53 I saw a cat or something ran towards you and then disappeared into your leg.
Your speaking intonation and tone etc sounds like the filmmaker Philip Bloom! Thanks for the video tutorial!
Love, love, love this follow along fartlek training! The in-between dynamic stretchings (that I do as the 7-minute prerun workout watching coach Holly’s video clip) is really effective to get my body ready for injury-free power runs. Thanks a lot!!
Who else agrees there should be a “GRN” Global Running Network, for specific videos aimed towards runners. It would make sense as they have EMTB, GMBN, GCN & GTN. Why not go for a GRN to top it off then runners can have their network of videos to go to to help with reviews, training tips, nutrition and Recovery strategy’s. Just an idea. ��
Do you include Fartlek training in your regular training plan? Let us know in the comments below ��
Thank Jesus today for my 5k marathon I came 5th in my age group; only with my father’s merciful and loving heart after i sinned
My goodness…I heard Fartless…This can’t work. Even the cat disappeared at @..Just joking Heather:)
Should we do that in couple with a partner? I fart and she licks me, then she farts and I lick her? Should I lick her ass only, or should I lick her leg too?
I suppose lek means leg, but still I don’t get why I should lick her leg when in fact she farted and most pbbly her ass needs to be licked…sorry english is not my mother-tongue….no pun intended
I’m a wanna-be triathlete but I include Yasso 800 before marathon races. Good to know I can adjust distances, running outside the track.
That’s an awesome video on treadmill Running.This help everyone to accrue the actual knowledge about running.
Hi i am Ifteakar and am designer and if you are a runner and you need a awesome custom t shirt for your running session then feel free to contact me on this link: http://bit.ly/2QuzgGT
I’ve done it this morning! Nice workout! The weather was good so Ive ran outdoor, following the audio and my watch instead, thanks for putting it together�� Ive had so much fun! Short sweet simple, great!
30-20-10 -jog 30secs -run 20secs Max speed 10 seconds over 2 months Can give upto 12 minutes better performance on a half Marathon, a great Way of getting new runners upto 10 km over a ten week period of running once a week with a trainer, better in groups so there Can be a whistle on the watch, fartleg is the most fun Way of improving the performance its better in groups ����
I love, just love the follow alongside video. It helps me to know what and how to do things. Not like the snippets with most other videos. Great work guys please keep it up!! I truly appreciate it!
Thanks for sharing..:)
By the way hello to little cat at 1:53
And 1:11 two poor guys who saw beautiful lady jogging for the first time ��
Perf3ct, i am about to do fartlek later today,just out from work…now, i am more inspired..��
I live in Johannesburg South Africa, Which is just over 6000 feet above sea level, and the
part of Johannesburg where i live is very very hilly, very little flats to do Fartlek running,as well as
cycling to get speed work..
This is so great!! Will do this tomorrow morning. Seems perfect for new runners, which I am ��
That’s nice, I was just wondering about this, because I want to improve my sprinting speed.
Do you run on the treadmill during the winter? Let us know in the comments below ��
Nice idea. I feel like i have more motivation to go on run when i have running partners. This is close enough to having a running buddy since I’ve been running alone these days.
This video is very comforting for me in this period thank you very much
I just loved the dog running along side through out the workout, changing the pace as per his guy
Nice! I posted one here as well, for hill sprints. https://youtu.be/O-ZtpL0r3f8
4/10… 7/10…4/10…breathing…arms…GREAT MUSIC…. thank you for making this ����������������❤️❤️❤️����
Hi gtn how many times you do the intervals? 2 or 3 or more?
Keep up the good work ����
Should you do this type of workout if you are on a tapper week before a half marathon?
I never thought about leaving it running during the rest. That is a great idea, I always worried about a possible discrepancy between what I did and the treadmill distance, because it starts counting at the pace you set automatically, ticking by faster than the warming up belt.
thanks! i like these as a careful way to get some speed in if i want a second weekly workout but rather than using landmarks or music, just listening closely to what my body wants to do often ends up in these seemingly random intervals or progressions!
You’re not joking about picking your playlist wisely. I was alternating between hard and easy paces by song once, and hit hard place when Sandstorm cane on. That was a long interval.
Did anyone see the ghost animal that runs at her at 1:55?:D
It kinda looks dangerous to be getting back on to a fast paced treadmill speed?
You mention a good baseline for the top end training is a 2:1 ratio of easy:effort.
What’s an ideal ratio and duration/distance for the lower end casual effort sessions?
ah yes, my 5k pace is like 35 minutes, and my marathon pace is… I don’t know if i can walk 42 km in one go?
I run on the treadmill in interval and Performance session during winter spring summer and fall
Was just about to hit the gym for a running session on the treadmill as I saw this pop up. Definitely going to try it out. Great work as always, Mark!
It sounds sounds exactly like my yesterday “I-have-no-idea-what-i’m-doing” run training:D
Hi everyone, I put this up to complete a last minute practice session and a few people discovered it. I’ll update the description in the next few hours.
Take care out there everyone; and be tolerant.
