We believe that changing the world around you begins with the management of one’s own mental orbit. By looking beyond the metrics of traditional institutions, we aim to discover the sustainable rhythm that fosters high-level inquiry. We define this as the Honest Pace, and we are dedicated to empowering humans from all backgrounds to search for theirs. We run not to escape society, but to return to it with the clarity and purpose needed to improve it.
Fartlek University exists at the intersection of a high-stack technical sole and a Stoic text. We have recruited a faculty of the most unyielding minds in history. Aurelius, Einstein, Diogenes, Poe, and many more to remind you that your pace is relative, your pain is an opinion, and your finish line is an illusion.
Run until the world makes sense or until it doesn’t matter.
“If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.” — Lao Tzu, Dept. of Philosophy
