Fartlek is a Swedish word meaning speed play.

This involves running, walking & jogging at various speeds.

Jog is running at a slow comfortable pace.

Easy Run is at pace slightly faster than a jog.

Steady Run is running at a pace where you are work hard and push yourself a little so

that you get slightly out of breath and thus breath harder.

Familiarise yourself with the course, see how you get on going over the Taw Bridge!

But most of all, enjoy yourself.
