 A Great aid to Running September 12, 2008

I bought one of these things 6 months ago as I had registered for the great north run and was starting running on a regular basis br / br /as a motivator, i find it excellent, i have always found running fairly soulless so the idea of logging up a number of runs and being able to view them graphically on a website works really well for me. it is free to register with the nike plus website, i don't have the fancy trainers, i use a pouch- and itunes does this automatically- you need at least a second generation nano, which was a bit disappointing but after that small hurdle i was sorted br / br /one small point, i know how far i run- because i plan my runs on google maps but the accuracy is fairly sketchy sometimes- i believe it uses an accelerometer (sp?) so if you slow down or speed up, or go up or down hills the distance is way off, and yes i have calibrated it a few times. the alternative is a gps system but these are hundreds of pounds and at the start of my running i really didn't know if i would ever get into it so went for the cheap and easily good enough option br / br /definitely worth a pop, get out there and run!

I love my nike + attachment for my ipod and use it all the time. It really helps motivate me and I enjoy the challenges and goals you can set up on the website. I've used it on the treadmill and once calibrated it seems very accurate. I would definitely recommend it.

I wanted to pick up running again after 6 months of no exercise. I'd lost motivation after a pair of running shoes started hurting my feet. The sports kit was an impulse buy motivation booster. br /Before trying it I was very suspicious of its accuracy. Calibrated it (400m walk down the street, 400m jog back) and went on 2 runs (of fast walks when it became too difficult) over a couple of days. Syncing it with the nike website enabled the display of graphs showing my runs and how I was losing pace steadily over the distance. What really impressed was the ability to draw my route on a google map in the nike website and link it to my runs. The distance came out at 3.25 km and the sport kit had calculated my runs to be around 3.29 km which is alot more accurate than I was expecting. br /I have now run every other day for a month using the sports kit and have every intention of keeping it up. I will probably re calibrate it in a few weeks as my run style has improved (less like a jelly) and the recorded distance has slowly drifted out by a further 0.1 km. br /I have no idea how usefull this is to someone who considers themselves a serious runner. Me, I can't wait to see the graphs, times, and average pace steadily improve. A fantastic motivation boost, just what I wanted.
