To try out Fartlek this weekend, gather your friends to run around the city park or favorite jogging tracks. "Assign" one of your friends to act as a commander to call orders such as "From this pole until the front meatball carts there!" As a signal for you and friends to run as fast as possible until the finish line has been determined. Take turns playing the role of the commander and you can also tamper with the type of practice and its intensity, for example by skipping, side shuffle, or brisk walking from one starting point to the ending point.
