Default Nike+ iPod

Hey guys,

Last summer I bought myself a pair of new Nike running shoes and didnt really think anything more of it until I lifted the insole to find a little Nike+ pod.

Today I finally bought the little transmitter to go with my iPod so I can better plan my runs etc. I've been out calibrating and testing it this morning and it seems to work fantastically with the Nike+ app for the iPod touch.

Whats cool is that for the functions it gives you, you'd expect something big and clumpy to be hanging off of you - but you dont even notice it.

Has anyone else got one of these or thought about getting one?
I'll let you guys know more about how I get on with it after my run tonight.

Haha shut it.

/end product plug.

But seriously though, it really looks awesome and should help structure my runs. Just wanted to see if anyone else had opinions on them.

Well I used it properly for the first time last night and it worked really well, every now and then a sexy little voice tells you how far you've run - 1k, 1.5k etc etc.
It also counts my pace, time and calorie burn which is pretty handy and then once I was finished, it added my data from that run to a chart so I can track my progress.

For the £11 that the sensor costs, you can't really go wrong imo .

I got myself a pair from the Nike Bill Bowerman series and they've served me so well .
Heres the link to mine: http://store.nike.com/index.jsp?coun...d-1/pid-204473

The colours are a bit loud and I wouldn't normally go for them but they really are awesome running shoes.
