Fartlek

Fartlek is a form of athletic training combining continuous and interval training. This can be done either by sprint bursts within a longer endurance session, or intervals of increased intensity at the same pace - e.g. hill fartlek involves a constant pace but bursts of increased gradient.

It is a Swedish word that means "speed play".
