It goes back a long time since we used it when I was running - and that 
was a long time ago. See for example 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fartlek for a little history. It's also 
interesting to note that it's used quite a bit by the military - there 
is "Fartlek Hill" at Quantico.  I remember that well when I was playing 
around with special ops in a previous life.
