Intro: This is a quick summary of “@prodirectrunning & NIKE RUNNING TRAIL Wear Test CHALLENGE - TERRA KIGER 8” from The FOD Runner. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

The day is built around four core challenges: a fast 1 km speed test, a fun running‑charades game, hill‑repeat sprints, and a 5 km trail endurance run.
Speed challenge: run a 1 km time trial as fast as you can (the host hit 3:17 min, teammate 3:43 min). Use a watch with pre‑loaded maps to track distance and pace.
Hill‑repeat workout: short, hard uphill sprints (the exact number isn’t given but they call it “killer”), great for building power and fatigue resistance.
Endurance finish: 5 km trail run on mixed terrain (muddy, technical) to test shoe grip, weight, and comfort.
Practical tip: pair up, run clockwise and anticlockwise to cover the loop, tag each other, and keep the competition fun.

Workout Example:

Warm‑up – 10‑15 min easy walk/run up to the top of Box Hill.
Speed Kilometer – Run 1 km as fast as possible (target 3:30‑4:00 min depending on your fitness). Record time on your watch.
Hill Repeats – 8 × 30‑second uphill sprint, jog or walk back down for recovery. Focus on quick, light steps; the shoes are praised for being lightweight and having good grip.
Endurance 5K Trail – Run a 5 km trail at a comfortable, steady pace to finish the challenge. Use the same watch to track total distance and effort.
Cool‑down – Easy jog or walk back down, stretch, and review your split times.

Closing Note: Give these challenges a go, tweak the paces to suit your own fitness, and log everything in the Pacing app. Have fun, stay safe, and enjoy the trails—your next great run is just a kilometer away!
