Fartlek sessions are best done off the track and guided by effort rather than pace.

You have to practice running fast in order to run fast., says Bob Vigars of Western
University in Canada.This might seem like a no brainer, but it can be difficult to
perform productive speed workouts when your training volume is high. Fartlek-style
workouts allow you to add some faster running into your training schedule and still get
in the volume necessary to compete over longer distances.
Fartlek workouts can be either structured or unstructured. Traditional fartlek is
unstructured and involves surging from one landmark to another at various intensity
levels. A more structured session would involve surging for a fixed amount of time at a
predetermined effort level. Examples of structured vs. unstructured fartlek can be
found below.
