Any chance young Simpson might get a run this week? Has been in very strong form in the 'Ants so far?

Further to this, I may be highlighting my absence from any sort of football training for 10 years or more, but in Kade Simpson's Fanfile on the CFC website he mentions the exercise/drill he hates the most - Fartlek!

Does this involve pulling Fev's finger and then sprinting out of range of ground zero?

Please enlighten me...

Ah Sherriff, that scene from Blazing Saddles. Hard to beat a good fart joke.

Nothing like a fart gag!

It's a beep test type repetitive thingy...google it if you really want a description

Fartlek is a Swedish word meaning "speed play'

In essence you run a distance but you vary the pace. So you will run at an easy pace and then run hard for a period and repeat this a number of times. If done properly it F@#king hurts. I used to hate it when I was a triathlete. The idea of the training is to build up aerobic conditioning as well as the ability to clear waste products from the bloodstream post effort.

fartlek= fart + lek

fart
intransitive verb
to expel intestinal gas from the anus

lek
noun
Etymology: Swedish, short for lekställe mating ground, from lek mating, sport + ställe place
: an assembly area where animals (as the prairie chicken) carry on display and courtship behavior

sound like some sort of kinky mating ritual... no wonder Simmo's not into it.
