Can I use the Sensor alone and sync after a run with the Running app?

I am considering getting the Nike + iPod Sensor and have been running a few times a week using the Nike + Running app for a while now.

What I don't like is running with my iPhone 4S in my pocket (worried it might fall out), so am wondering whether I could leave the iPhone at home and the Sensor is enough to collect data from the run? Then I can sync up after the run to analyse pace etc.

Not sure if this is possible based on other comments/reviews online - the guy at the Apple store wasn't entirely sure either.

I'd then buy an iPod shuffle for £40 with just my running playlists on and feel much more at ease!

Thanks!

This is silly, but you have to run WITH the ipod/phone right? I've just bought the sensor to use with my iphone 4.. So I have to run with the phone..

--I'm a little worried about running with the phone. Will the constant up-and-down impact of me running hurt the phone in anyway? I just don't want to hurt my new phone :-)

If I wear my running shoes for working out and for normal day-to-day activity... Sensor battery drain?

Will wearing my workout shoes for day-to-day activities with the sensor in them cause the battery to drain more quickly? In other words, do I need to remove the sensor when wearing my running shoes for non-workout activities?

will this work when my i-phone 3GS is locked, or do I need to leave the i-phone unlocked and the app running on screen?

I have tried several pedometers on my i-phone and although some do work relatively well, I need to leave the phone unlocked in my pocket in order for it to record the data. If I purchase the Nike + sensor and attach it to my shoe, will the i-phone record the movements even when locked and playing music?

Does this sensor work with the nike running app or only with the nike+ app. Because I have an iphone 5 and I don't think they make that app anymore.

How accurate is the sensor to speed and distance?

Also as i get tired i tend to run slower, will the sensor assume i am still running at the same speed?
As it is only a pedometer will it just assume I'm running at the same speed as i did in the calibration, or does it adjust?
