04 / 04 The Work
Go HAF
Fartlek is Swedish for “speed play,” and that's exactly the assignment. After a warm-up jog from Mean Eyed Cat down to Zilker, the crew strings together alternating bursts of hard running and easy floats — no track, no splits to obsess over, just effort.

// FIELD NOTES
Fartlek is Swedish for “speed play,” and that's exactly the assignment. After a warm-up jog from Mean Eyed Cat down to Zilker, the crew strings together alternating bursts of hard running and easy floats — no track, no splits to obsess over, just effort.
Zilker is the perfect canvas for it. The open, mostly flat paths around the Great Lawn and Barton Springs let everyone run by feel, regroup on the float, and surge again together. Newer runners can keep the surges short; the savages can stretch them out.
Leave the watch-staring at home. Pick a landmark, send it until you get there, jog easy until you catch your breath, and go again. That’s the whole game — and going HAF is the only pace that matters.
Structure Alternating hard surges / easy floats
Surface Park paths + grass
Effort By feel, not pace
See you Tuesday at 7PM
No dues. No excuses. Just show up and go HAF.
