If the Chinese ever run out of torture techniques..
... they could do worse than try fartleks!
Today's idea, following a 1 mile jog, was to run 'fast' for 3 minutes (0.5 miles) - jog for 1 minute - run 'fast' for 3 minutes - jog for 1 minute etc... 7 times!
Now the first three minute 'burst' seemed OK and the 1 minute 'rest' was nice too, but as the repititions went on the three minutes seemed to get longer while the rest breaks got shorter - funny that! Mind you I could say the same about the fartlek sessions in general - it's only one (painful!) day but it doesn't half come round quickly!
Thankfully the 6 fartleky miles (41:24) have been done for another week.
