“Man is never more human than when he plays”.  Friedrich von Schiller

The Swedish word fartlek  translates as Speedplay
Lately I have been more inclined to do workouts that include speedplay.

My version of speedplay is modified to include segments of running, jogging And walking.  I manage to log more miles with fewer heavy foot strikes and plenty of speed segments.  These demanding yet playful workouts have been performed on the cinder track, the rubber track at Jackson Liberty high school and on the trails and in Turkey Swamp Park. I have managed to maintain fitness during the month of November logging 14 out of 28 days so far. Also, by alternating running days, I have manage to allow my Achilles tendon issue to resolve itself and enjoy the training.

Stats have been consistently positive!  Still under 145lb even after Thanksgiving weekend!
