Overview
Thanks to a unique partnership between Nike and Apple, your iPod nano, iPod touch (2nd generation), or iPhone 3GS becomes your coach. Your personal trainer. Your favourite workout companion.

Nike + iPod Sport Kit
Love this, can also use with non-Nike+ shoes
Written by MP from North Royalton
26/11/2006
This is an inexpensive way to track your runs and it is very Apple-smooth in its ability to use. I didn't like the Nike+ shoes, so I use the Shoe Pouch to attach it to my shoe, which works perfectly. It is obvious that Apple and NIke worked very hard to make this thing very easy to use. Its an excellent accessory for the iPod. They should however, make it work with all the iPods, not just the Nano. …More

Nike + iPod Sport Kit
it realy does work - and your just love using it !!!
Written by GP from LONDON

i'm a runner and music "geek" so what i have to say is all about using the Nike+ system and how to "customize" your non nike running shoes
:: setting up
very easy, if you use the nike+ shoes.... but i don't so...
I don't like Nike running shoes - sorry it's just my choice - So i had to "customize" my running shoes.
by lifting up the inner sole and carving a small hole into the dense foam sole does seem a little stupid, but it does work and if your careful and use good DIY or craft skills - you will not notice the sensor or affect the shoes ability, so for you lot out there like me who love to run, you'll most likely not run in nike shoes - but really want to use the Nike+ system - well you can!
:: using the Nike+ system
once all the set up is done and your ready to run, you'll realize just how easy the voice prompt (giving live sats, run time, pace, distance) is to access and just how much it will inspire your runs - not hyping this up too much here - but it really does work!
:: getting home and making it all talk
once your done the iPod will upload your run info to the Nike+ web site (via iTunes) its all very automated - just connect the iPod and click OK and your in!
:: the web site and "seeing" your runs
this is VERY good - the flash based web site works very well and is almost too easy to use! all your runs are there, best times, best distance, compare and review - all great and very useful
:: in conclusion!
this cost me £19 - i had the iPod nano - the running shoes - a massive music library - a wonderful park on my doorstep - a desire to run
the Nike+ system has made it all come together - and just work - in a very Mac way - perfect !

Is there a battery? How long does it last? Is it chargeable/replaceable?
- Asked by DM from Weston
- 7/10/2009
Best Answer
The Sports kit comes with the sensor that goes into your shoe, and the reciever that goes into your ipod.
The sensor is what contains the battery - unfortunately the battery cannot be replaced. Good news is - I got a good 5-6 months out of my sensor before replacing it; and you can buy the sensors individually (without the receiver) for around 19.99 I believe? :) …More- Answered by AD from Fort McMurray
