Nike+ Running

Nike+ iPod Sport Kit

Nike+ IPod records the time, distance, pace and calories burned in real time as you run. You can track those results on an iPod Nano and, after connecting the Nano to a computer, you can veiw your pace of your run mile by mile at (nikeplus.com). this is a very cool device to track your progress very easily. The best way to calabrate your sensor is to run on a track for 400m at your normal pace and stop it right at the 400m finish line. I found that this will give you the most acuracy when calibrating. Your results are about 95% accurate beacause your stride changes as you increase and decrease your speed. For you tech geeks I found a tech link talking about the engineering side of the sensor.

Shoe Pouches works with the Nike+ IPod

There are several different shoe pouches that work with the nike+ IPod sensor that allow you to use any brand of shoes. Nike running shoes are not the best running shoes on the market. Make sure to place the pocket on the middle of your shoe laces.

Nike Speed+ Watch

Nike is releasing a watch that will communicate with the Nike+ sensor and will no longer need the assistance of an iPod. The Speed+ watch communicates wirelessly with the Nike+ sensor in your shoes and will display your distance, pace, time and calories burned on the LCD display. Avlable in June of 2007.
