Apple Nike + iPod Sport Kit for iPod nano 1G, 2G, 3G Reviews
I purchased this item when I first got into excersising about 2 years ago. I walked and did the precore at the gym and weights. So needless to say I didn't get much use out of it, (doesn't register on precore). But recently I started walking 10 miles once a week and wanted to see how long it took and how far I went. It worked really well.
Then last month I have decided to run a half marathon. So I have been on the tread mill and occasionally remembering to turn the program on when I ran. THEN LAST NIGHT I made myself run for 30 minutes on the treadmill. The machine said I went 2.20 miles at about 14 minutes a mile. Frustrating.
Then I looked at my Ipod and it tracked me at 3.03 miles @ 9.46 A MILE!!!!!!!!! WHAT A DIFFERENCE FROM THE TREADMILL!
So if you want accurate results and a good ego boost, go buy this item ASAP.
If you don't have the Nike shoes not a problem, they sell little pouches for the sensor to fit in, then you put on your shoe laces.
I would love to rate this product, however I never received it and cannot get an answer out of the retailer who actually shipped it.
The Nike Ipod is a great tool for keeping you on track for running. I'm a biker as well as a runner and I never ride bike without my faithful cateye odometer keeping track of milage and speed. Naturally I was attracted to the idea of having a way to keep track of speed, milage and frequency of my runs.
I bought this expecting to find a complicated setup process but was surprised to find out it's actually very easy!
The best thing about this is that it's like having a companion to run with. I would like to suggest when using an ipod do this little trick I discovered on some of my mountain bike excursions. Get a set of sport headphones that have the wrap around ear things. Don't bother with the ipod earphones, they are fine in a seditary possition, but they tend to fall out when running. The sport earphones stay in your ears. In addition to this I suggest taking the cord of your earphones and instead of having them in the front of your chest, run the cord down that back of your shirt or jacket from your ears to ipod. This keeps the cord from dangling down in front of you and gives you the music you want with less annoyance.
Also one more thing, invest in the Nike Ipod Soundtrack. I have to say, I bought the "Original Nike Drive" music with The Chemical Brothers and it's fantastic. I think I have a bit of that "Clockwork Orange" mentality now, because I've been listening to the music for over a year now, only when I run and when I hear the first crash of sound from it I instinctively start running.
Other than that I suggest taking advantage of the great online community. Nike developed a "mini-me" concept that includes an animated charactor designed by you. One you sign on (Free) you can save the info as a screen saver and they were smart enough to put all your milage and last run info on the screen saver. They really thought of everything! Also the funny part about the Avitar is that he actually adjusts to your running habits. If you are running alot he is happy, jumping for joy happy. If you miss a few days running you'll find him board, playing paddleball, looking bummed out and playing video games saying things like "I sure could use a run etc..." It's actually fun and a great psycholocial reminder to get off the couch and run!
Highly recommended!
Works great & only time will tell if the battery was low when purchased or not, but so far it seems in perfect condition & was shipped in a timely manner. Very happy with my purchase!
Hum !! Guess what a combinaison of an Apple product and Nike could give ... An outstanding product !!!
