Talk:Fartlek

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Someone said "Fartlek" comes from swedish. I haven't heard about it, but the compounds look like they would be translated into the swedish word for "Speed-Play".

--194.19.40.3 11:05, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)A bird once told me that "Fartslek" is a training technique developed by norwegian cross-country skiers and is usually used when running in hilly environments. Could "Pace-Play" or "Pace-game" be better translations?

At least Oxford English Dictionary, MSN Encarta, and American Heritage Dictionary translate it as "speed play". --Nikai 13:42, 18 July 2005 (UTC)


Why is fartlek always spelled with a capital letter in the article? It's not a trade mark or something like that right?? 81.213.229.202 20:21, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
