I wanted to pick up running again after 6 months of no exercise. I'd lost motivation after a pair of running shoes started hurting my feet. The sports kit was an impulse buy motivation booster.
Before trying it I was very suspicious of its accuracy. Calibrated it (400m walk down the street, 400m jog back) and went on 2 runs (of fast walks when it became too difficult) over a couple of days. Syncing it with the nike website enabled the display of graphs showing my runs and how I was losing pace steadily over the distance. What really impressed was the ability to draw my route on a google map in the nike website and link it to my runs. The distance came out at 3.25 km and the sport kit had calculated my runs to be around 3.29 km which is alot more accurate than I was expecting.
I have now run every other day for a month using the sports kit and have every intention of keeping it up. I will probably re calibrate it in a few weeks as my run style has improved (less like a jelly) and the recorded distance has slowly drifted out by a further 0.1 km.
I have no idea how usefull this is to someone who considers themselves a serious runner. Me, I can't wait to see the graphs, times, and average pace steadily improve. A fantastic motivation boost, just what I wanted.

I bought the Nike+ kit for the iPod Nano just after Christmas as part of my post Christmas usual fitness drive. I have never been into running, having tried to get into it a number of times before. I didn't want to buy the Nike + trainers so I bought one of the plastic holders that you can attach to your trainers. The Nike+ kit however is a truly fantastic product, it gives you a motivation that I was not expecting. It works very well and when hooked up to the Nike+ website, it can allow you to set goals and track progress. This is brilliant, and it provides such a sense of satisfaction as you achieve your goals and see your average time improving. I could not recommend this enough whether you are a seasoned runner, or a novice looking to get into shape, this is the right piece of kit for you!

Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought one of these things 6 months ago as I had registered for the great north run and was starting running on a regular basis
as a motivator, i find it excellent, i have always found running fairly soulless so the idea of logging up a number of runs and being able to view them graphically on a website works really well for me. it is free to register with the nike plus website, i don't have the fancy trainers, i use a pouch- and itunes does this automatically- you need at least a second generation nano, which was a bit disappointing but after that small hurdle i was sorted
one small point, i know how far i run- because i plan my runs on google maps but the accuracy is fairly sketchy sometimes- i believe it uses an accelerometer (sp?) so if you slow down or speed up, or go up or down hills the distance is way off, and yes i have calibrated it a few times. the alternative is a gps system but these are hundreds of pounds and at the start of my running i really didn't know if i would ever get into it so went for the cheap and easily good enough option
definitely worth a pop, get out there and run!

Your i-Pod is your trainer!
Great product - you listen to music while you run, and your i-Pod tells you how far left to go at regular intervals. Get home and your pod also charts your peaks and troughs etc.

It works correcly, even though the distance is an estimate rather than a correct measure as there is not the possibility to insert the step dimension.. Read more
