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.

Tune

Insert the wireless sensor inside the custom, built-in pocket beneath the insole of your Nike+ shoe, then plug the receiver into the Dock connector on your iPod nano. The iPod touch (2nd generation) and iPhone 3GS includes built-in support for the system — no receiver necessary.

Run

Now start your workout. As your run or walk, the sensor sends information to your device, tracking your time, distance, pace, and calories burned. If you choose, real-time, spoken feedback can even alert you to milestones throughout your workout.

Sync

Back at your computer, sync your iPod or iPhone 3GS to transfer your workout data to iTunes and nikeplus.com. There, you can evaluate your performance history, set goals, and even challenge other runners to a virtual race.

    Love this, can also use with non-Nike+ shoes

    Written by MP from North Royalton

    26-Nov-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

    it realy does work - and your just love using it !!!

    Written by GP from LONDON

    19-Aug-2006

    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 !

    Nike hasn't fit me for years so I've found a velcro pouch that attaches to my non-Nike running shoes to fit the sensor. Sorry Nike. …More

    Rubbish

    Written by TL from SANTA MONICA

    5-Dec-2009

    Dont waste your money. Bought two of these AND a new pair of Nike Plus shoes. Totally inaccurate. Used several tims on a tread mill, calibrated several times. Pace was consistently wrong. For instance at end of 4 miles my distance was off by 0.3 miles stating my paces was 10:30 minutes per mile. Tread mill was showinf I was running consistantly at 7.2 miles per hour. If you are a serious runner and value an accurate tool get a Garmin This is worthless and Im pretty anniyed after having spent 60 bucks and 8- bucks on new shoes for this. Rubbish and frustrating. Nothing more annoying when you have put effort in to a 40 minute run to find rubbish results. …More

    You do NOT need this with Ipod Touch

    Written by JC from Dodgeville

    2-Dec-2009

    Two staff members at the local AppleStore told me I needed the whole kit. Ordered online as it was on sale and when I plugged the reciever in, the Ipod said there is already a reciever built in to the Touch. Checked it and it works great. Super system but don't waste your money, all you need with Iphoe or Touch is the receiver. Also, there are companies that make great lace on sensor holders, just look in any runners magazine or Google it. I'd give it a 5 star if I hadn't wasted the money. …More

    Great Motivation!

    Written by KM from La Mirada

    30-Nov-2009

    I got Nike+ form a friend who wanted to start running with me, It has been the greatest invention to track your running! I have no problems with it! There are so many different features to it that I find out every time I dedicate more time to look at the Nike+ website; it has a Map It feature which is really great, you also can set the settings where it shows up on Facebook. I love this device! …More
