Is fartlek training beneficial for 5km training? I have got best results from interval training but I'm considering doing a few fartlek sessions to see how I go. Do you think it's worthwhile?

If so, what are some good fartlek sessions for 5km training?

seems like its the same as interval training..in that case it will help your 5km but you should be doing a 5k run once a week on top
