Fartlek

The other day, I ran 10 kilometers.
I thought I adopted the Jeffing, the Run-Walk-Run method.
I read an article about Fartlek and realized what I did the other day resembled Fartlek.
However, a big difference is that Fartlek is the Run-Jog-Run training method, not Run-Walk-Run.

The important point is that in Fartlek you should not make a plan. You should start running and start jogging at random.
Sometimes you may set a landmark, for example, start running at a next pole. Or you decide on your instinct.
I adopted this core idea when I started running and started walking the other day.
It was really fun for me to do it.


先日、10キロを走りました。
自分では「ジェフィング」、つまりラン・ウォーク・ランのメソッドを取り入れたつもりでした。
しかし、ある記事で「ファルトレク」について読んだら、先日の自分の走りがファルトレクに似ていることに気付きました。
ただ、一番大きな違いは、ファルトレクはラン・ウォーク・ランではなく、ラン・ジョグ・ランのトレーニング方法であるという点です。

重要なのは、ファルトレクではランとジョグの割合などの具体的な計画を立てないことです。とりあえず走り始め、ランとジョグをランダムに切り替えるのが重要な点です。時には「次の電柱まで走る」といったランドマークを設定することもありますし、完全に直感で決めることもあります。
先日、私がランとウォークを切り替えた時も、基本的には、まさにこの方法を取り入れていました。
とても面白い方法でした。

Corrections

The other day, I ran 10 kilometers.

A comma isn’t necessary for so short an opening statement.

I thought I’d adopted the Jeffing, the Run-Walk-Run method.

I read an article about Fartlek and realized what I did the other day resembled a Fartlek.

However, athe big difference is that Fartlek is the Run-Jog-Run training method, not Run-Walk-Run.

The important point is that infor a Fartlek you should not make a plan.

Or you decide based on your instinct.

its common to use the phrase “based on one’s instinct”

I adopted this core idea when I started running and then started walkjogging the other day.

Hopefully jogging otherwise it wouldn’t be a Fartlek?

Feedback

Wow, I haven’t thought about Fartleks in years. As cross-country high schooler runners, we were happy when our coach assigned a Fartlek for long run recovery day. But as teenagers we also found it funny because we could say the slang term “fart” at school and get away with it.

Thank you for your corrections!

Fartlek

The other day, I ran 10 kilometers.

I thought I adopted the Jeffing, the Run-Walk-Run methodwas "Jeffing," ,a method where you run, then walk, then run again, but I read an article about Fartlek and realized what I did the other day resembled Fartlek.

I adopted the Jeffing -> I was "Jeffing,": the -ing ending of "Jeffing" turns it into a gerund, as most words ending in -ing are gerunds (Gerunds are verbs ending with -ing; swimming, running, ending, etc). The current way the sentence is written is confusing because it doesn't consider this fact.

the Run-Walk-Run method -> a method where you run, then walk, then run again: Even though it's more concise and is acceptable, it's more natural to explain a method that is unknown to the reader in plain words rather than more complex/compound explanations. ***

***it's also acceptable to say "a Run-Walk-Run" method, as it's less specific because the reader doesn't know if this is the ONLY run-walk-run method, or just one of many.

Append the next sentence to this one.

Or you decide on your instinctther times you just choose on the fly.

"Sometimes" is used in the previous sentence to describe a portion of the decision's circumstances, so "other times" should be used in the next that describes the other portion of the decision's circumstances.

Great English - again, try combining simple sentences to other sentences to make more complex sentences. Other than that, minor corrections
