Personal:

I'm a Brit living in a small town in the south west of Germany, on the edge of a nature park, the Schwäbisch-Fränkischer Wald. The landscape is very hilly with vineyards & orchards on the lower slopes merging into forest above. 42 years young, married since 1997 to my lovely wife.

A.M. Dry and sunny today and man did I have great fun on the trail today. 5k warmup, then 10k fartlek with everything chucked into the melting pot, short sprints, hill sprints, downhill strides, tempo pace, marathon pace, jogs... Best run of the week. 2,4k cooldown to finish. Total 17,4k in 1:18:32, av pace 4:31/k, 7:16/mi.

P.M. Recovery jog, legs sore but better now than tomorrow morning. Total 7,5k in 38:42, av pace 5:10/k, 8:18/mi.

Glad you could have a great workout AND it was fun! I don't ever do nonstructured fartleks. I guess I am too A-type personality to be spontaneous with my hard days.

Great job keeping things loose and fun with the Fartleks.
