Why the name?
The legend of the Marathon run dates back to the year 490 B.C. when a military messenger by the name of Pheidippides ran from a battlefield at the site of the town of Marathon, Greece, to Athens. When he arrived, Pheidippides was said to have proclaimed "Niki!" ("victory") before collapsing to his death.

And here you are! You are about to complete your first week of training. Once you finish today's workout, the weekend is yours! Endurance is the third component of a skilled runner. So as you push through these 5 miles, remember the proclamation of Pheidippides; "Niki!"
