Fartlek Runs [iPhone]

Fartlek, which means "speed play" in Swedish, is a form of high intensity interval training in which you use the body's energy systems alternating intensities and time durations during the workout.. This puts the body’s energy systems under a acyclic stress, better mimicking sports specific energy demands.

With the Fartlek Drill App you can train in several modes making each workout different. You can either quickly select a drill based on an intensity level and sport or customize the drill in detail to better suit your training needs.

The Fartlek App has a “random” mode, in which the engine generates the number of stages, training intensities and durations based on a given sport. You can also make your own time distribution (percentages) schemes.

You can configure manually each stage’s training intensity and time durations. You can combine random and manual effects, making this App fairly versatile to adapt to your needs.

Using the In-App Upgrades you can upgrade the App to include the Training Zones Module. This module allows you to configure a time distribution scheme and save it as a sport, which can be used it in any run as you use the default sports.

This App is available in a sale bundle with our AeroExaminer App, allowing you about 25% savings when compared to purchasing separately.
