Focus of the Week

You've spent the last several weeks developing your strength, speed and endurance. Runs that once felt challenging are becoming more familiar, and you're learning what your body is capable of.

Now it's time to put that progress to work. This week's tempo run will challenge you to maintain a stronger effort over a sustained distance, while your community long run is an opportunity to enjoy everything you've achieved alongside other runners.

Trust your training, embrace the challenge and take pride in the progress you've made.

Before You Start

This week, you'll complete a 45-minute easy run, a 5–7K tempo run, the Fast Forward workout on Nike Training Club and finish with a 7K long run.

Plan your sessions with enough recovery between harder efforts, particularly your tempo run and long run. Maintaining the right balance between training and recovery will help you get the most out of each session.

Easy Run

• 45 Minutes

Run at an easy, conversational effort throughout the session. As your training becomes more demanding, it's important to keep your easy runs easy. Resist the temptation to push the pace, even if you're feeling strong. Use this run to continue developing aerobic endurance while allowing your body to recover from the more challenging sessions.

Speed Run

• 5–7K Tempo Run

The tempo run challenges you to maintain a sustained effort that's comfortably hard but controlled. After your warm-up, settle into a rhythm where your breathing is purposeful but consistent, and focus on maintaining an even effort from start to finish.

Avoid starting too fast. A well-paced tempo run should feel challenging throughout without becoming unsustainable. Learning to hold this controlled effort is an important step towards becoming a stronger, more confident runner.

If you’re in Mumbai, you can complete the tempo run with us on 14 November at Mumbai University Grounds.

Strength Training

• Fast Forward — Nike Training Club workout

Complete the Fast Forward workout with a focus on quality movement and good control. Strength training remains an important part of your development, helping improve power, stability and movement efficiency while supporting injury prevention as your running volume increases.

Long Run

• 7K

Complete your long run at an easy, steady pace. While the distance continues to build, the focus remains the same: relaxed effort, consistent pacing and enjoying the experience.
