The distance of each bout of Fbeginners to elite athletes. Fartlek training is generally running could be pre-planned or last until the desired heart rate is associated with running; however, it can be used for almost any achieved. The variability of Fartlek training allows for its versatility kind of training (4). Fartlek training involves variable pacing, to train different qualities to fit the needs of each athlete. In alternating between fast and slow bouts, and allowing for the Fartlek training, the individual completes a fast run, followed by training pace to be self-selected while progressing through the a slower run under race pace until breathing rates have returned workout. Traditional Fartlek style training is associated with back to normal (4). Fartlek style training varies between long, slow increasing VO2max during running increments, although this distance runs and pace/tempo training intensities, targeting to basic format can be used for cycling and swimming by simply train an individual’s VO2max from 70 – 90% (8). combining long, slow distance training, pace/tempo training, and interval training (8). There are differences in programming for FARTLEK TRAINING PROGRAMMING any individual based on fitness levels and goals. Fartlek training Fartlek training is commonly associated with endurance runners can be individualized for various goals, ranging from weight loss however, other athletes can benefit from a well-designed Fartlek to top end speed, as well as developing high levels of fitness (2). training session (2). This method is ideal for sports that consist of Any individual can find a Fartlek style of training that would best bouts of anaerobic sprinting mixed with aerobic recovery periods, enhance his or her fitness level. such as soccer, volleyball, basketball, and tennis. Endurance runners commonly use Fartlek training to prepare for uneven WHAT IS FARTLEK TRAINING? paces. However, this type of training is also effective for other The word Fartlek comes from Sweden and means “speed play” sports, such as football, basketball, and rugby. (2,4). The style of (2,4). The training method was introduced to the United Sates the Fartlek may vary based on training status. For novices, it could in the 1940s by former Swedish decathlete Gösta Holmér as a be jogging with walking compared to more advanced trainees who method of blending interval and continuous training to develop would do running with jogging. both aerobic and anaerobic capabilities for application to outdoor running (6). Fartlek training is best described as periods of fast The intensity and continuous exercise nature of Fartlek training running intermixed with periods of slower running (4). During the places stress on both the aerobic and anaerobic energy systems training session, the runner uses different paces depending on the (4). When properly applied, Fartlek training utilizes all three durations and intensity of each interval (7). An athlete running bioenergetics systems. While many Fartlek training programs a Fartlek should run at an intensity (pace) close to VO2max (8). utilized prescribed durations of work to rest, many practitioners This method of Fartlek would be most commonly associated with use a more subjective approach to training. Simply put, the mid- to long-distance endurance athletes in their preparatory individual is often allowed to train based on their perception of phase of training. Even though Fartlek training is commonly used how they “feel” during each part of the Fartlek session. In other by elite athletes, recreational runners can also benefit from adding words, if an athlete feels like they are not sufficiently ready for Fartleks into their training session. This style of training is efficient another intense repetition they are allowed to recover slightly for conditioning various sports due to the ability to alter work to longer before the next intense bout. The danger of using “feel” is rest ratio to yield a desired adaptation (2,5). that some less motivated athletes may not train at a high enough intensity to gain the desired adaptions. FARTLEK VERSUS HIGH-INTENSITY INTERVAL TRAINING If the goal of training is anaerobic adaptations, the training is Fartlek training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) are performed at a high intensity for a short duration. Anaerobic both styles of interval training. Interval training involves repeated Fartlek training will improve the efficiency of an athlete’s fast short to long bouts of high-intensity movement interspersed with glycolytic energy system to produce adenosine triphosphate recovery periods which includes light rest or no rest. A common (ATP). This will increase the athlete’s ability to perform high- difference between Fartlek training and HIIT is that Fartlek uses intensity activity (2). A typical method for aerobic adaptations low-intensity running as recovery rather than passive rest that involves moderate intensity for a longer duration (i.e., long, slow can be seen in HIIT.
