8 Mile Fartlek
Last nights workout was a hard seesion. I did 15 min warm up followed by 30 min FARTLEK finishing with a 15 min warm down, the run covered 8 miles and was very undulating which made it very difficult to stay in the correct zones. Check out my results below:

16 Mile Run
On Monday 17th January I ran an easy pace for 16 miles, the reason for this is that I accompanied Lisa (my partner click here to see her blog Lisa's blog) as she is also training for The 2011 London Marathon and needed some encouragement. You can check out the results for that run here:

Fartlek, which means "speed play" in Swedish,[1] is a form of conditioning which puts stress on the whole aerobic energy system due to the continuous nature of the exercise. The difference between this type of training and continuous training is that the intensity or speed of the exercise varies, meaning that aerobic and anaerobic systems can be put under stress. Most fartlek sessions last a minimum of 45 minutes and can vary from aerobic walking to anaerobic sprinting. Fartlek training is generally associated with running, but can include almost any kind of exercise. (description from Wikipedia).
