GRRRR Nike+

So, tonight I went for my speed run, and I was surprisingly strong throughout. I know I shaved at least a few seconds off my mile time. So, I get to the end landmark, slow to a walk to cool down, and pull out my ipod. I hit the menu button, and my ipod suddenly resets. Once it comes back on, I check the nike+ history - no run. Grrr! All I want is to know my darn time!

Do you enjoy your nike+ ipod stuff? I just got an iphone that has nike+ already set up, but you need the running shoes too, right? How does that all work? I'm intrigued.

Buy the sensor, ignore the shoes. Nike shoes suck (imho). I duct tape my sensor on to a pair of brooks shoes that fit me great.

You don't need their shoes (though I ended up with them the last time I bought running shoes). You do need a sensor to send data to the iPhone though. You put that in the shoe or you get a little pouch to tie it to your laces (I did that for my prior pair of shoes).

I like the Nike+ but mostly for the challenges. I wish I could figure out how to get my Nike+ to record the pace for each interval when I do interval workouts. Right now I end the workout and begin another one and that's a bit of a pain. Especially when I forget to restart it and lose the middle part of my workout!

Where can I buy just the sensor? Is it expensive?

Does the sensor tell how far you have run?

MacMadame

The sensor talks to the iPhone or iPod Touch and that displays how far you've run and your pace and time.

You can buy the sensor alone for around $20. There is a kit that also has a receiver (necessary to use it with the iPod Nano) for around $30.

Check out www.nikeplus.com and it will explain everything.
