Customer Review: I love stats
Summary: 5 Stars
I love running, but I never really have the motivation to go running. And it's a hassle to track my progress through the old standard of writing it down in a book. But with the Nike+ iPod sensor it's effortless to track my running stats and try to improve my times and distances. Since I can see what kind of progress I'm making I feel more motivated to keep going. If I felt like I wasn't making any progress in my running I would probably stop. With Nike+ I can see how well I'm doing easily. It's just so great. Let me break down the aspects of Nike+ into sections for you.
Getting Started
In order to use this sensor it is advised to have shoes that are Nike+ capable. That is, they will have a little compartment under the sole of the left shoe that you can slide this little bean like sensor into. You don't have to own Nike+ running shoes. There are little pouches out there that allow you to lace it through your shoelaces and it'll keep track of things like that. But to me that seems primitive, so I went out and got some runnings shoes (my first pair of shoes dedicated to running by the way). As for accuracy, it's pretty accurate out of the box, but you can calibrate it so it will be more accurate for YOU, as apposed to the general populace.
Apple Integration
Some iPods and iPhones have the ability to detect the sensor without a dongle, and they have a Nike+ App pre installed, all you have to do is activate it. Just go to "Settings" and there should be a Nike+ option somewhere in there. I don't know how the sensor works but I don't think that it will ever run out of "battery" power because I think it is simply powered by moving around. When you are done running or walking the Nike+ app will save your running data and next time you sync your iPod or iPhone it will upload the data to the Nike+ website. You should be aware though, that it will only upload the last run you did. So if you have gone on two runs since your last sync it won't upload your previous run. It's kind of a hassle to have to sync it after every run. But it's way easier than trying to figure out how far you've run, what your best mile was, how long you've been running, etc. It's a small price to pay.
Web Product
The online Nike+ website is pretty useful. I've had difficulties with it, but that is not at all the sensors problem. The website is where you will be able to access all of your old runs and see how fast you've gone and stuff like that. It's basically your running journal. You can make notes to go with your run, like if you ate a burrito just five minutes before a run and you think that's what made you so slow, then you can record that. My only problem with the web product is that you cannot integrate a training plan with your iPod or iPhone's calendar. You have the option to chose a coaching program that will tell you how much you should run each day. But the only place you can access the information is online. You would have to write down everything it wanted you to do and whatnot.
Sorry for the long review. But I tried to fill it with relevant information. If you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments and I'll try to get back to you.
