However, with fartlek, the work intensity or duration is not measured or pre-determined. A performer has the freedom to alter the difficulty of the training session at any given point. • An important factor that determines the effectiveness of fartlek training is the self-discipline of the performer. They need to constantly alternate between periods of hard, moderate and light work. • One way to track current working intensity is through the use of Heart Rate monitors. They allow a performer to see how hard the current movement actions are working their body. • 3 methods to alter intensity when fartlek training: • Speed of movement. • Terrain. • Resistance being moved against. • Typically, fartlek training is completed by running. However cycling, rowing, swimming and other repetitive movement actions that the intensity can be easily adapted for would also work. • In the case of running, the performer could alter the speed in which they travel, the quantity or difficulty of inclines and declines they include in their route, the surface they run across (sand, stones, tarmac, grass etc) and the additional weight they run with in a rucksack. • Any combination of these variables will ensure that the performer alternates between periods of hard, moderate and lighter work. • POSITIVES • The performer chooses the working intensity, giving them ownership over their training and reduces the risk of injury as they know when to increase or reduce the intensity based on their capabilities. • The performer gets out into different environments which great for motivation. • Usually completed by running which requires little specialist equipment. • NEGATIVES • Requires self discipline and motivation as there will be no rigid training plan. A lack of effort or motivation will keep them in a lower intensity training zone and the limit the effectiveness of this training method. • Each session is different, making them difficult to compare and see exactly where progress or regress has occurred. • A coach may need to combine the method with a standardised fitness test to assess progress over time.
