READY SET GO
RUN 2:
BEAT BUSTER THINK OF THE STREET AS YOUR OWN PERSONAL DANCE FLOOR.
WHAT TO EXPECT Mixing up your pace throughout a run, otherwise known as Fartlek (Swedish for "speed play," and one of the more humorous words in the running lexicon), teaches your body how to change gears, to go fast, slow, hard and easy. These are all speeds and efforts that will come in handy as you develop as a runner. Music is a tool to help you get there.
WORKOUT Start your playlist and get running. Run easy when the song is slow, and then pick up the pace when the song is fast. Let the beat guide your pace. Singing along is optional.
TIP Check the Nike+ Running App to see if you ran your fastest pace during the most up-beat songs. On the Run Details screen, rotate your phone to landscape mode to see how your pace changed over the course of your run.
NEXT RUN: CRUISE CONTROL This workout is all about finding a pace that you're comfortable with over the course of your run. It's not about running faster. It's about running smarter.
