5.0 out of 5 stars Your own running coach., 16 Oct 2007

By	Shelley Wood "shelleybirduk" (Blackpool) - See all my reviews

I hate exercise, I really do. I only do it so I can eat more food. I haven't found a sport I enjoy yet so thought I would take up running, being a complete beginner I had to choose which kit to use and stumbled across this product.

The basic kit consists of a sensor which fits into a specially created socket in certain models of Nike running shoe, there are conversion kits available which allow you to use another favorite brand of shoe but I have not tried these myself. Also included in the pack is the receiver which plugs into the charge socket of your Ipod nano and all the instructions needed to get going.

Setting up the system is very simple, stick in the sensor plug in the receiver the sensor in your shoe and install the software (supplied) takes five minutes to do. Once your up and running so to speak the system is your new best bud. You can access the nike system through the top level menu of the Ipod and set your workouts to one of four settings, time, distance, calories or a "freeform" run.

Once you have begun your run a quick glance at the screen of the Ipod will tell you your speed, distance traveled, time elapsed and track playing (if you have chosen music)upon depending on the setting you have chosen you will also have the music interrupted with spoken notifications such as "15 minutes remain" etc although these can be turned off. At the end of the run you get a spoken overview of your run giving you total distance, time, average speed and calories burned (which is made accurate by the ability to enter your weight into the Ipod) a nice touch is also that you also get a well done if you beat a personal best.

The beauty of the system lies with what you do after your run. Every time you plug your Ipod into your PC the data is sent to the nike plus website where a record of your runs is kept. The Nike plus website allows you to set personal goals such as run 10 times in 4 weeks or take part in challenges against other runners. The website is very easy to use and the simple but bold diagrams give you a real sense of how you are improving. you can also set your profile to public to allow everyone to see it and widgets are available to place your data on sites such as Facebook.

Seasoned runners will have done exactly what the Ipod does with a good old fashioned map and ruler but having the system do it for you is a real bonus.

Your choice of music has no effect on the system at all, you can nominate a song to be your "power song" to give you that extra oomph when you are flagging, I'm sorry to say that yes, mine is "eye of the tiger" Also running mixes are available to buy through Itunes and podcasts by athletes such as Sally Gunnell are available to download.

I absolutely love this system and wouldn't trade it in for the world. I think without it I would have given up running a long time ago and as a weight loss tool it is invaluable as it can be used to measure walking as well as running.

The sensor unit itself is sealed and so when the battery goes you will have to buy a new pack but mine is still going strong a year on. Even at a replacement cost of once per year the system is still excellent value.

1.0 out of 5 stars another way for nike and ipod to make money, 10 Jun 2008

By	Louise Hampshire "weaslepiss" (england) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am rather unhappy to write this review as i was once a huge fan of this little machine. However, after about 1 year of having it, the truth of it starts to come out.

Im not a very mad runner - only running about 2 maybe 3 times a week. This machine at first was wonderful as i could find out how far and how fast i was going etc.

Started noticing some problems when it started changing itself between miles and km. Then it started not responding when i first connected it before a run.

Then last week, after not using for about a fortnight, i went to put it on and the machine said that there was no sensor present. I did the run anyway hoping it would pick it up but nothing.

Now it wont even register when i attach the chip!

Ive been googling about to find out if there is anything i can do and i have come across thousands of messages from other people saying that they have exactly the same thing.

It seems that the sensor has a small battery in it, and this runs out, low and behold!, right after the 1 year warranty is up! (some people were reporting that they were having these problems after about a week! so it looks like i was lucky to get a year out of it!) This battery is not made to be replaced and so you then have to go and buy another one.

I would seriously think about looking about and seeing if there is anything else on the market - or wait and see if a better version comes about, as i think this is a waste of money now, and pretty crap for the environment aswell!

5.0 out of 5 stars so far so good...., 11 Jan 2008

By	ilex (Scotland) - See all my reviews

I began running a few months ago. I got an ipod nano for my Christmas from my partner and the sports kit and pouch (which is also very good) from my parents. As I've been building up my running sessions, I really wanted something reliable to assess and record my ability and 'keep score'. This does the trick.
Yes, this is an early review as I've only had the gear since Christmas but so far it's worked very well. I also like the fact that you can callibrate it to your own pace and you can access the Nike website where you can upload your running times, etc.
It's so simple to use and not expensive to buy...so get running and enjoy! Well worth the money!
