My 8 week Marathon training plan includes Fartlek training. I know what it is supposed to do and will! follow it religiously , as I am now only 7 weeks from my 1st marathon . Has anyone tried it, and does it work?

Hi Mike

You may have tried it already. It’s only like running fast as you can to the next lamp post or whatever 😃👍
