Fartlek means “speedplay” in Swedish. Gosta Holmer, a former Olympic multi-eventer, was the coach of the Swedish nationwide cross-country staff within the Thirties. At the moment, the Swedish cross-country staff was not that good. Coach Holmer developed a coaching program utilizing a wide range of distances at varied speeds over the pure terrain present in Sweden. It labored! Fartlek can construct the athlete from decrease health to greater health.
