It’s….Thursday and you know what that means....
For the last time in Series 18 it's time for some Fartlek Fun and we are finishing off with a deep cut (read: it's a long episode)
The gang sit down with Fartlek Family mainstays and more importantly Rasselbock pacer extraordinaires Paul and Lee to talk about last week's 2nd annual Rasselbock Marathon and Half marathon. Eric and the gang put on an incredible event and we had a blast dissecting it with pals!
Then we have a bit of Jack’s elite corner before Ben and Emma take us off on a magical mystery tour to some international parkrun tourism including a Castle, a new pal and some carbon shoes, before Lou has a look back
Then it's the main event - for the last time in 2025, it's our Most Miles Wins results. With just 41 miles in it, and fancy dress like Neil Marshall in the bag - who is taking away the prize of MMW 2025 Champion? Team Lou or Team Matt?
Thank you again to Protein Rebel for their support of Most Miles Wins - don’t forget whatthefartlek15 for 15% off at checkout
And that's it - another series done, another community challenge done. We are looking forward to a bit of time off, some epic community summer events coming up including pacing in Leeds and our annual weekender in Sheffield - if you would like to get involved in our motley crew, just let us know
May your runs forever be runderful, always be excellent to each other, be kind or be quiet - and we will see you in S19!

It's Thursday and you know what that means....
This week starts wonderfully, as we turn the structure upside down open with Ben and Emma telling us all about their latest parkrun adventures!
Then, to be frank, it descends into utter chaos
Lou and JP join Rob and Matt for a 45 minute segment that we think included a roll call and a good news story and possibly a bit about Alton Towers - it’s all a bit of a blur
If you make it to the end - we salute you. Caterpillar butterfly 🐛 🦋
Oh and let us know your list….

What The Fartlek celebrates its 4th birthday this week but the milestone is overshadowed ever so slightly by Parkrun hitting the big 20. We look back on 2 decades of Saturday morning 5ks with a special episode.
Rob is joined by author Lucy Waterlow to talk about her new book, just released in conjunction with the festivities 'The Ultimate Guide to Parkrun' - available now. Plus we recount some of our favourite memories and Ben and Emma are here not only to talk about where theyve been this week but also to drop some fun parkrun facts on you
But thats not all - Jack is back with the Elite Corner, we look back at pacing in Humberside and we have a roll call and a good news story (of sorts).

The Stittles get a new nickname and catch us up on their Parkrun exploits from the close season.
Last but certainly not least, Matt brings a new (old) roll call song out for a new format of the 'roll call' as well as brining back an old favourite with this week's 'good news story'

Also a big thanks to Enertor for sending us some shock absorbing insoles to try, Rob gives a whirlwind review after a few weeks wearing them at the top of the hour plus you can get 20% off if you want to give them a go using the code WHATTHEFARTLEK at checkout.

Ben and Emma are back to round up the last 3 weeks of Parkrun and try and help SMJ find love in a new game that is in no way related to ITV's Blind Date - we had a lora lora laughs recording what was quite frankly, CHAOS!

It's not Thursday so we are not sure what this means
A very special (although not particularly high quality) episode for you guys as we re-visit our first ever live podcast recording over from Saturday 18/02/23
Join us to look back on an action packed and chaotic evening raising money for Make A Wish UK. We chatted to Matthew Bradley, a former Wish recipient and current MAW fundraiser, we drew the numbers for our massive raffle and Matt finally found out his surprise as our friend Amy set about de-hairing his tiny little torso in a waxing extravaganza
You can follow our guest Matthew Bradley on his fundraising adventures on Instagram HERE
A huge thank you to Amy for giving up her time to help with the evening - check out her running journey HERE and Beauty Therapy business HERE
Now please note that this recording was originally a visual experience - and quite a visual experience at that - it is available on Instagram and on YouTube if you want the full, technicolour view of Matt’s suffering but if you are out on a run, don’t have access to those platforms or simply can’t stomach the thought of Matt’s hairy chest then sit back, relax and enjoy the next 90 minutes of absolute anarchy at the WTF studios
We have raised £4,232 so far for Make A Wish but still need to get over that £5,00 target - if you enjoyed this utter nonsense then you can support us by donating directly to our JUST GIVING page

We have the regular features - Parkrun Cup, Roll Call and How's Your Week before Sammy, Emma and Lou sit down to talk about some key topics on their minds as female runners - from the danger of comparison, mental health, postpartum running and a somewhat worryingly significant amount of time dedicated to determining everyone's favourite snack

It's not all fun and games though as Cat Roberts jumps on to share a very important message - follow Cat's story and hard work highlighting and fighting for women's rights in running and beyond here
