Fartlek Training By Meily, Petch, Earn, Mint, Wise 1203
What was our method Fartlek, a Swedish term that means "speed play," is a form of interval or speed training that can be effective in improving your running speed and endurance. In general, fartlek training should be performed once or twice a week. Fartlek running involves varying your pace throughout your run, alternating between fast segments and slow jogs.
Advantages - It is more flexible and not as demanding as traditional interval training. - It doesn't have to be done on a track and can be done on all types of terrain, such as roads, trails, or hills. - BURNS MORE CALORIES - It can be adapted easily to suit the individual
Disadvantages ●
It need a large area to do the activity
●
INCREASES INJURY RISK FOR BEGINNERS
●
CAN LEAD TO AN IMBALANCED TRAINING PLAN - Don’t incorporate tons of fartlek intervals into every workout.
●
Difficult to see how hard the person is training.
Our Lesson plan - Jogging 1 lap
Fartlek training is meant to be free-form and fun.
- Run 2 laps
First of we start with jogging one lap then running
- Jogging 1 lap
two laps. Once complete a fast segment, we slow
- Run 2 laps - Jogging 1 lap - Warm up
down to jogging to below our normal running pace until we have fully recovered and breathing has returned to normal. Then return to running again.
Rationale for our practice session ●
We do fartlek training because it has a lot of benefits included increasing speed and endurance, improving cognitive focus, and burning fat. ○ ○ ○
Fat Burning: The fluctuation between anaerobic and aerobic exercise is excellent for fat-burning and speeding up your metabolism to make it serve you better! Speed and Endurance: This approach to running is known to boost both speed and endurance, making it popular for a marathon and half-marathon. Variability and Control: Leaving all intensity and duration decisions up to the individual runner means less pressure to stay within a rigid framework, which means a lower chance of injury or overexertion.
Strength - Easy to set up - Requires little material - Easy to trained and understand the process
Weakness - We can’t control people to run in the fast section - Requires large area - Our lesson didn’t take 20 minutes long as the requirement
Area of improvement ●

Leadership
If I were to do it again If we were to do this again, we would start by warming up and stretching before start running. Moreover, we will tell the instruction more clearly because it is important to be careful for excessive fartlek training which may lead to injury.
