Fart licks is the term they used in the Army for sprinting from say, one telephone pole to another balls out, then walk the next one, then sprinted again etc. You can use any markers you want to or change it up... sprint two markers, walk one etc.

Why are they called "fart licks?"... I have no idea.

Table jumping is just a takeoff on "stair steppers", but instead of one step at a time up a low step, you jump both feet first up and down on top of a picnic table seat as fast as you can for as long as you can. for me right now its about 1-2 minutes max, but I guarantee you it gets the heart rate up, PRONTO.

I used to love to sprint up steep hills, but there aren't any worthwhile ones close enough for me to bother with here and I HATE long distance running at a steady clip, it just bores the shit outta me.

So I stick with short distance bursts or table jumps, it really works at getting the heart rate jammed up.

It is "Fartlek".
