The Moneghetti Fartlek

Seems that down this way Moneghetti Fartlek's are all the rage at the moment. A Moneghetti Fartlek is a fartlek session devised by Steve Moneghetti, who represented Australia multiple times in the Olympics, and now as a master continues to terrorise younger Australian runners ....(in much the same way as Carsten in NZ!)

This is what the session involves:

• Run two sets of 90 seconds hard (little bit harder than 5km pace), 90 seconds easy ("Float" or steady pace, just above a jog).
• Run four sets of 60 seconds hard, 60 seconds easy.
• Run four sets of 30 seconds hard, 30 seconds easy.
• Run four sets of 15 seconds hard, 15 seconds easy.

Because the sets are based on time and not distance, you can do it up a hill, cross country or on a track which makes it an excellent session for Orienteering training. You can read more about it at: http://www.runforyourlife.com.au/downloads/issue4/Session_Of_The_Month.pdf
