1st fartleg run

Interesting is a good word to use for my 1st one of these. I also think I was smiling most of the way through Coach Bennett’s guided ‘fartleg’ run as he kept stressing the word ‘fartleg’ every few seconds it seemed 😂 and I just kept wanting to giggle.

Yes, I know this is very immature and I will get past this stage but this morning, on my 1st ‘fartleg’ this was my automatic reaction 😂😂 and I couldn’t help it 😂🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🎄🎄🎄

There are a lot of foreign words which in English are rude words or even swear words or sound rude in the English language, especially German or Dutch, although fartleg is Swedish.

Yes and this can be very funny at times 😂 In Copenhagen there is a restaurant called ‘Bast...’ and it has this sign hanging over the door 😂 I think I was one of the many English speaking people that had my photo taken while standing underneath it. No one else was batting an eyelid at all 🤗🎄🤶🏻🎄

There is a village in Austria called ? well, the name begins with the letter F, it's situated near the border with Germany, obviously, I can't use the word here, they are going to change the name because there as so many English speaking people visiting the place to get a photograph next to the road sign naming the village, the roadside sign has been stolen so many times it is now stuck into the ground with concrete, that is until they change the name.There is a small town in America called Hell in the State of Michigan

Ha! I’ve never run a fartleg, but I love Coach Bennett, so you’ve inspired me to give that one a try! 🤣

It’s fartlek.

Fartleg is when you’ve had a dodgy curry and get stuck in a traffic jam with devastating consequences.

Fartlek. It's Swedish for "speed play".
