Post Cards From the YES Life: Your launchpad for reinvention, empowerment, adventurous living, and purpose-driven entrepreneurshipWhat is a Fartlek and Which Runners Need Them?Fartlek is Swedish for “speed play,” and by definition, it should be unstructured.

For my newer runners, I use fartleks as a way to help them learn to vary their pace, and I schedule several of thes...2019-09-2414 min
