How to Use Nike+ on ANY Type of Shoe
Over on Starling Fitness, I do an extensive review of the Nike+iPod. It is a sport kit for your iPod that tracks your distance and speed using a sensor that fits into the special Nike+ shoes. You can use it with ANY shoe, however, using the Shoe Wallet (pictured here).
The most surprising thing to me is that I really enjoy the software online that tracks your runs. It allows you to set goals and earn trophies with your best runs. It turns running into a video game for me.
A lot of people have complained that there is no way to download the data to a spreadsheet or other method of downloading, but that doesn’t bother me. The Nike.com website has free registration. If I REALLY wanted that data, it’s still on my iPod and I can type it into a spreadsheet if I want to. For now, I’m really happy with the positive feedback that the Nike website gives me. I haven’t figured out a way to do that with a spreadsheet yet.
