Fartlek University is a world-renowned, public inter-disciplinary research university situated on a breathtaking 140-167mm campus. Rooted in the principles of our founder and Dean, Dr. Fartlek, “FU” emerged from the realization that modern academia was ill-suited to research and promote the non-metric gains of movement. While traditional institutions treat “physical education” as a mere elective, We believe the mind requires the body’s momentum to unlock its most superb thoughts. To bridge this gap, we turn to a faculty often overlooked today.

Ethos

At Fartlek University, we are a philosophy driven institution where across all departments, our faculty agrees: movement is not optional. The debate begins over which forms of movement are best and why. Every coach on this campus, in their own way, aims to convince you of the same thing: movement is the best medicine for mental health.

Mission

We are a sactuary for those who recognize that a mile is not a measurement, but a stubborn opinion, and that the finish line is a recurring hallucination. We examine movement through the hard sciences, the depths of the psyche, and the timeless truths of the written word. Together, we explore what can happen when mind and body move as one.

I asked Coach Socrates about my target splits and he asked “what is a Pace” I asked if he was qualified and he said “Thats the spirit!”. I then did 12 miles of interrogative Intervals. Not sure of my split times but not sure that matters. Overall tho great workout!

Coach Nietzche told me my 800m repeats were the schedule of the herd and that the only goal was to overcome myself entirely. I told him my lungs were burning and he said “the fire is the only thing that is true.” I did 40 laps in a manic trasnce.
