This week - Fartlek from Swedish roughly meaning speedplay.

Fartlek training involves varying the intensity or speed of your run to improve your fitness and endurance.

When you do fartlek training, you're essentially 'mixing things up'. 

You can do a quick/slow pyramid between trees/lampposts, building up from 1 to 5.  For example, at the 1st lamppost run quickly to the next and slow down to recover until you reach the next lamppost. From there run 2 lampposts quickly and then slow down for 2 lampposts.. continue until you reach 5 and then bring it back down 4.3,2,1 .  If you have time - repeat,  Unless you have very even trees/lamppost spacing you will find that you can run longer or shorter than expected.
