Having read Daniels' running formula, I haven't seen a word devoted to fartlek and progression runs. Surely, Daniels writes about quick ST at the end of an E pace (for example), but there's really nothing about distinguishing between ST and progression runs. Who knows, why? (plz, don't write "Jack Daniels")
Does Daniels find the described above types of training (FR, PR) useless or has the approaches to training runners changed so much?
Interested to read any answer, thanks in advance!
Daniels does address and prescribe "fartleks" in his books.
Among other things, Daniels might recommend a fartlek over intervals when conditions are unfavorable. For example, one might become discouraged attempting intervals on a windy day and might benefit more from an unstructured fartlek session.
Daniels also prescribes a lot of "##:## 'on' / ##:## 'off'" stuff. It's more structured than traditional fartleking, but it's referred to as "fartlek" in his books.

Thanks for your reply, didn't have an idea Daniels prescribed fartleks! Do you know something about him prescribing progression runs?
Daniels does not specifically prescribe "progression" runs in his training plans. I do not think he even uses the term "progression" in later editions of his book, but I think he mentions the term in the first or second edition.
It's my understanding that from Daniels' perspective, progressive runs adhere to his training principles as long as you're getting enough time in around "threshold" pace. For example, starting off a long run at easy pace, and gradually upping the pace to marathon to HM to 10K in the final mile(s).
What do call 4E + 4M + 2T? Progression

Got it, thanks!

Cool, haven't thought about it in this way! From which plan do you have this combination?

My bad, have just noticed such combinations in Daniels' plans. Thanks anyway!
