It's Thursday and you know what that means...
For the last time in S14, the gang are back to shoot the breeze. We talk about our week in running, injury updates and have a good chat about the value of first aid training and CPR/De-fib knowledge.

Of course we finish with a bumper roll call and some very special thank you's looking back on S14. Keep your eyes peeled for more What The Fartlek in the near future and a packed summer of pacing with our pals at RunThrough and Rasselbock

Customer Reviews
Community
A community podcast for runners with plenty of laughs along the way. Lots of guests and support for everyone.
Fantastic content from fantastic people
Since subscribing and playing through the back catalogue I’m beyond inspired. All the guests have great stories on how they first got in to running, the struggles they’ve faced along the way and even health battles they’ve had to overcome. Really puts into perspective how much we’re capable of when we put our minds to it. Now being part of the Fartlek Family I see what an amazing bunch of people they are. Rob and Matt have created a family of like-minded people with a common love for running, and I can’t thank them enough for accepting me in as one of their own.
It’s a family thing
The show, guests and running based tomfoolery is second to none.
This is more than a podcast, the community the guys have created is unreal. Supportive beyond belief.
