I have this vision of Norwegians running at a certain speed to the nearest lamp post and then at another speed up a hill and then at some other UNpre-defined speed over the next but one pedestrian crossing.

That’s not me. Maybe I’m a bit boring but I want a bit of structure.

So how about this then

Warmup then 3x all the following:

1. 5x
   1.  [
   2. 30 seconds jog
   3. 20 seconds normal Z2/high aerobic speed
   4. 10 seconds max/sprint
   5. ]
2. 2 minutes jog

Well that is a Fartlek workout used in a Danish university study on a group of Finns. And yes I know Fartlek means something in Swedish.

Try that a couple of times a week and see what happens.

The benefits should be: improved anaerobic capacity; improved muscular force; and higher neuromuscular response.
