by Larry EderThe idea of fartlek is perfect now. I have to admit, in college, most of my tough sessions were solitary. I only did a long run, track day each week with team mates. The nature of speed play gave me much solace and confidence. The 3 minutes on, 3 minutes easy was a good workout. I also loved a workout where I ran 40 tmes the distance from first base to third base, just opening up my stride and getting up a good sweat. Be careful with social distancing.
