The Word of the Day is What?

Mike Bates and the word of the day.
With a theme of Jogging, Topics Master Mike Bates selected the word fartlek as the word of the day.

From Wikipedia:
Fartlek, which means "speed play" in Swedish, is a training method that blends continuous training with interval training.[1] Fartlek runs are a very simple form of a long distance run. Fartlek training “is simply defined as periods of fast running intermixed with periods of slower running."

It was hard not to laugh every time the word was used in Table Topics. And it was used frequently today.
