fartlek....is it safe? you will not explode if you increase the distance, speed and time on the same day...you may not feel like working out the next day, though...it depends...if you are in decent shape and pretty close to your fitness goal (6:00 miles or faster), then you could easily increase time, speed and distance from workout to workout...if you are struggling to gain speed, a more conservative approach should be taken...push yourself, firmly, but gently...then once you start to feel comfortable, push harder...
