Nike + iPod

Nike + iPod

Does anyone else have this?
I got the sensor for Christmas and the Shoes for my birthday. Great presents (Cheers Janelle!)

For those who don't know.. Its a little sensor that you insert into a special Nike shoe and it talks with your iPod. It times you, notes the distance ran and plays music depending on your speed or whatever.

Ive plugged the iPod into the computer and it sends the info off to your own profile on a Nike website and tells you how far you have run and all other kinds of stuff. You can set training programes, compete with friends and set goals.

Im not too sure of all the little features as im having a play on the website and so far ive gone .02km after walking the hall and back.


It would also be cool to find people to compete with if possible. For a bit more motivation.

I would but:
a) It's a rediculous price, and;
b) Puma FTW

I need to actually get out for a run before I start getting into that stuff.

Lol. Its whats motivating me more now.
I got a gym membership and these things. I want to make the most of them.

Tried.  Borked.

I went to go get a gym membership and came home 10 minutes later with a foosball table. Best decision of my life.

I went to get a gym membership. and did. Now i pay $20 or whatever a week for a gym i never go to. So hey anything to motivate me could make a good purchase.Tegal2009-12-28 23:53:32

I actually have this and my brother works at shoe clinic so i got this for free. It actually works really well gives you a good idea of how far you are going.

My iPhone doesn't work with it without the receiver unfortunately.
And the touch I was using is being used today so I wasn't motivated enough to go for a run..

Warning: enormous LOLs potential with News, Stefan, Shogan and Hampster talking about their respective fitness regimes!

My fitness regime involves me delving further into the the realms of Northland every week ! A scary proposition for most.

My fitness regime is so crap I couldn't even finish joining the gym 

Well i lost 5 kgs after being in hospital for a few days

Yay for dehydration?

Calf bork coming along nicely thanks for asking Smithy.  Even did some garden work today... close to the first time in 7 years.

Hamster, when you run past Pembroke motors give them some love.  They keep the Fever mobile moving.

Ahhh, so that's why I keep seeing the Fever car there... Good stuff from them !

I assume its an almost permanent feature there.

Nike plus gears... Pretty decent actually. Nike have started to up their game a bit- amazing running shoes till late nineties, then pretty much stopped developing and were overtaken by most other running shoe companies- product is better now though.

As for the sensor- for it's price it is pretty decent, and the programmes are decent as well. It's not going to be as accurate as a gyro-footpod (see POLAR), but I'd say better than a GPS unit (gets screwy in hills/tall buildings- but probs more accurate than Nike sensor). But the Nike sensor (for once) is a sh*tload cheaper, handy as for what you want it for.
