Thread Name: BS: Running a half-marathon
Subject: RE: BS: Running a half-marathon
Better explain that one: it's "fartlek", Swedish for "speedplay"; easy running with some fast stretches, up and down hills, usually on nice wooded trails, golf courses, etc.
The best general advice: train as much and as hard as you can without getting injured, not always an easy balance. As for joggers nipple, it's a lot easier to snigger at than it is to endure, I know!
