The nike+ ipod is a fun little option
I highly recommend it to those of you who like to run. I've just started running over the past month and a half and have found the nike/ipod thing to be a nice little motivator. Tracks your speed, calories burned, plays a power song for you when you need it etc... The nicest part is that everytime you hook the ipod to your computer it sends your data to your Nike webpage where it is graphed several different ways for you to peruse. It's $30 well spent if you have the nano.
BTW, if anybody on here already has it, we can exchange screen names and challenge each other. They have a cool way of tracking challenges. |

I would love to try it if someone is willing to donate an Ipod nano to the cause.
My only question is, do you have to wear Nike running shoes? or can you attach the transmitter to other shoes?

It sounds interesting, but Nike makes the worst running shoes in the business.

www.switcheasy.com There are many others. This was a 10 dollar option that works very well for me. As for donating an ipod to your cause, well, you'll have to hit up somebody richer than me. They do have refurbed 1 gigs at the apple store for $89. http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPL...0-1&esvid=1839 Last edited by SteelBlue; 01-20-2007 at 09:55 PM. |

It'd be fun doing challenges with you guys. We'd have to get creative though so that an out of shape dude like me can have a shot at winning. Something like most miles run after 11pm. Last edited by SteelBlue; 01-20-2007 at 09:54 PM. |

As Steel knows, my wife has the same thing and absolutely loves it. She joined a web challenge for most miles by a beginner through the month of January and it has been very motivational for her. Of course, the leader in her challenge already has 130+ miles logged for the month - hardly a beginner by any stretch of the imagination.
She opted for a sensor and arm pouch by Marware: http://www.marware.com/cgi-bin/WebOb...Lj0vT8wsvCFOBg The arm pouch seems a bit more functional than the apple version due to the fact that you can see the display while in the pouch and also that it can be used as a wrist strap. The shoe sensor is probably not quite as good as Steels, but it works well enough and came pretty cheap as a bundle package through Amazon, $24 for both: http://www.amazon.com/MARWARE-Armban...UTF8&s=apparel |
