Fartleks

Tag! You're It!

I was tagged by Shelia.  This could be interesting.

Here are the rules:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 2 to 5 sentences, along with these rules.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual book. Pick the CLOSEST!

So here goes...

ooh this is too funny!!!!

"Literally translated fartlek means "speed play".  It's a method of training in which there are relatively long-duration, high-intensity periods mixed with low-intensity training (which serve as rest periods), but you still do a continuous workout overall.  Fartleks are designed to increase your strength and to help you have fun with your running and keep you interested in your training and activities."

From my latest read - Triathlons For Women by Sally Edwards

As for the tag, how about...

Anyone that wants to just for kicks.
