Any Nike+ iPod owners?

**Tiffany** · 02-13-2008, 01:02 PM

Hey all,

I did a search before posting this but had no luck so I thought I would go ahead and ask ... Do any of you own the Nike+ iPod system? It's that chip that goes in your shoe and the transponder that goes on the bottom of your iPod? Just curious. I've used mine since Christmas and absolutely love it. The website lets you track all kinds of information and you can set personal goals and join world wide challenges. It's actually really neat. Anyway, just curious if anyone else was using it. I thought we might join a challenge together or something.

Hi! I have been using it for about a year. I didn't buy the shoes, but have the ipod and nike-plus, and got a neat little leather thing to stick it in on my shoelaces. Love it, Love it, Love it! I would love to do a TE challenge! Would be fun to see us all logged on one chart. I'm in!!! Just tell me when.

Sweet! Let's see how many more people respond to this thread and then maybe we'll get a challenge going just to keep us all motivated!

I'm in if you guys decide to set up a challenge. Been using mine since Jan. Was sticking it in my shoe, but I finally needed new shoes and was lucky that the "correct" pair also happened to be a nike+ pair! Woo Hoo!

Have one and use it all the time. I'm up for a challenge - anything to keep me focused on my workouts right now, winter is dragging on and on and on - well, you get the idea

**Tiffany** · 02-27-2008, 04:44 AM

Great! This is good. I'll shoot out a couple of options and you guys let me know which one you want. When I get it set up I'll let you know.

1. Most miles in 30 days
2. Most miles in 60 days
3. First person to 50 miles
4. First person to 100 miles

Any other sugguestions?

I was looking at the Nike+ ipod on the REI site, and it says that the "sensor will only work in enabled Nike+ shoes". So that's not true?

You can buy holders that attach to other shoes. Here is one http://www.amazon.com/Sport-Sensor-N...4485360&sr=8-3
But there are others

I've finally made my purchase, now I just have to get things up and running. Which I can't do likely until tomorrow. Which seems to be giving me permission to be lazy today.

ha ha ha. Can't wait to start playing with my new toy!

**Tiffany** · 03-10-2008, 04:27 PM

That's awesome! It is a breeze to work so you'll have it going in no time. Now all you need to do is come join our challenge. We mainly use it for motivation and to help keep each other going! Come play with us!!!

No, that is not true. As brok mentioned, you can put it in a holder or something similar. You should get the set-up! It's awesome!

I'm hoping to buy this with my refund.

So I would be interested in joining next month. Though a time one would work better for me, as I don't cover a lot of mileage! But the challenge aspect is still very helpful in keeping me honest.

I bought the same one referenced above through Amazon. It works GREAT. Before that (lol) I was duct taping it to my shoe tongue. Didn't work QUITE as well, but was generally effective enough! They LIE.. don't have to buy the shoes. I even read somewhere the directions someone posted to cut out a spot under the insoles of your shoes and put it in there. I'm not that brave!

That would be great! I will look into the "time challenge" for next month for sure. The more participants the merrier for sure! Here we go!

Diving - I just stuck mine under the top of my shoe for the first month and a half and it worked fine but those "pouches" are a little better. You definately don't need the shoes.

I needed shoes anyway and I just lucked out because the Nike+ ones happened to be the best fit running shoe I tried on and cheaper then the other pair I was considering so I went with the Nike+. Nice to not have to worry about where my chip is now.

Tiffany - 100 miles in 8 weeks that's awesome!

As far as what type of challenge for the next one... I'm fine with whatever. It doesn't have to be distance. I don't run that far either I'm still doing a learn walk/run, but I also walk a lot so my miles tend to be higher then other beginners.
