I was gonna (my catchphrase) do a NRC hill run this morning but there's a new Fartlek run which they've just launched so I thought I'd give it a go. If you love coach Bennett you'll love this; he makes it so funny. You can guess why. Enjoyed it so much 🀣 Fab sunrise too β™₯️

Oooo - I've never done a Fartlek - not really sure what it is, so I'll look out for it on NRC. I love Coach B! How long was the run Blossom?

I'd never done one either. It's 7 minute warm up and 10 minute Fartlek, so short but not without oomphπŸ˜€

There's been some great sunrises, and sunsets lately. Hope you enjoy the Fartlek (tee-hee) 🀣

I tried an NRC fartlek once and found it TOUGH! I like the intervals because I get to stop and recover between intervals. Not so with the fartlek (I totally know why Coach Bennett made that fun. I have a massive crush on him!)
