Training Terms

Long Aerobic Running means to be training at a fairly strong aerobic effort, not just jogging. Finishing in a "pleasantly tired state".

Easy Fartlek Running means easy "speedplay". Running over undulating areas if possible and mixing in some fast stride outs, hill sprints, downhill striding, or whatever you feel like doing without tiring yourself too much. Take easy jogging intervals whenever you feel like it.

Strong Fartlek Running is similar to easy fartlek, however you should push it abnd finish in a tired state.


Hill Springing is used to strengthen the legs generally and the ankles in particular. Find a gentle slope and, after warming up, use a bouncing action with a slow forward momentum, pushing hard off the toes again on alternating feet.
