fartlek

a system of training for distance runners in which the terrain and pace are continually varied to eliminate boredom and enhance psychological aspects of conditioning


This is a funny word. Hehe. My friend and I were talking about training today, and this word came up. It’s from the Swedish: fart (“speed”) + lek (“play”).
