Nike+

Anybody else running with Nike+ ?

I bought some new shoes a couple weeks ago. Got them home and was spraying on some protectant and noticed the little thing inside the shoe . I had no clue what it was for so I had to do a little research. After finding out what it was for, haha, I thought it was pretty cool so I bought the sensor. I already workout with my ipod so I figured, why not?

I have used it 4-5 times now and so far I am really liking it. Keeps track of the distance I have gone, my pace, and calories burned. Plug it into your computer and it sends all your info to the Nike+ website. There you can set various goals for yourself, and really keep track of your progress.

So if your serious about running/walking and would like to keep track of your progress I highly recommned you take a look at the Nike+ setup.

Hmm, I've heard mixed reviews, inaccurate details in regards to distance and losing signal as it ages. Not tried it myself so glad it works for someone- just keep hold of the reciept incase if I were you!

A new sensor is only $20. So if I get a few months out of one I will be happy. They are supposed to be good for 1000 hrs though.

You have to calibrate the sytem to your step to get the correct distance. I did mine on a treadmill at the gym. Checked the accuracy at the track at my old high school and it was only off by .02 miles. Thats close enough for me
