Thanks. Obviously I would've gotten a lot better Google responses if I had spelled the word correctly.  |

I think fartek has something to do with the early morning bowel movements while running.  |

| It's a high-tech vapor barrier fabric that allows gaseous emissions to pass through undetected, but blocks malodorous "farticles." Kinda like Goretex. |

That is what is commonly referred to as a Candice in most running circles.

Fartlek is actually a Swedish word  comprised of two parts: 'fart' which means 'speed', and 'lek' which means 'play' . that is: speedplay. In Fartlek training you basically vary your speed as you please, with no set times or distances. |
