Today I did a Fartlek run.  It was my fist time ever and it was on a treadmill so who knows if I did it right.  But it was intervals!  I felt pretty good considering the weekend of eating I had with Christmas and all.  My hamstrings were a little tight.  Hope that doesn't continue!  This is my first week of following the training Jeff put together for me for my marathon.  Hope all goes well!

Welcome to the FRB! Great to have another IF runner on here. I will watch your progress and continue to try and help out where I can.

Welcome to the blog!!

I do not think there is a wrong way to do a fartlek run. I looked it up just a bit ago and all it said (as I recall) was that you vary your pace like you would in interval training but listen to body cues instead of going for a specific amount of time. SO, when i did it on the treadmill, I used strange things like, "I will sprint until that guy finishes his bench press" or I just did the sprints by commercials or whatever. Anyway, that was a RAMBLE!!!!

Very nice work-out!
