Anyone use the Nike+ system?
I hate running, really hate running but I think if I can set some goals maybe it will make it easier to get into. I already have the shoes so Im looking to hear from people who have used it and how they liked/disliked it thanks.
Here is the website and a quick vid (click on "what is Nike+"). http://nikeplus.nike.com/nikeplus/ |

I hate Nike, so I'm biased. It looks to me like just another product to make them money.
But if it helps you run, then its worth it. I bet it costs a few hundred bucks though, knowing Nike. |

I got it for Christmas and I like it. I turn on the music, start jogging, and it tells me when I've gone one mile, two miles, etc. At the end, if I have a personal best, Tiger Woods or Joan Benoit Samuelson or someone congragulates me. It then uploads my run history (80 miles so far this year) to the Nike web site.
I think it's got some glitches, though, because sometimes I'll set a personal best and no one will congratulate me, which is crushing, and a couple of times I've uploaded my run and it'll show some oddity like a 20-minute mile in the middle of the run, when I don't remember collapsing and crawling on my knees for a mile. Overall, though, I'm a big fan of it and like the fact that I know how far I've gone while I'm running.

I just started using mine last run. I thought it was kind of cool but maybe the novelty will wear off after a few runs.
And yeah I hate running with a passion, but I started that couch potato to 5k training program from cool runnings and it is the best thing ever. Now when I miss a night running I feel bummed. |

It's pointless.

I guess if you're that concerned whether you've ran a mile or 1.35 miles it might be handy. But mostly it's a marketing gimmick to appease gadget consumers and encourage you to buy more toys.

So you're not speaking from actual experience then? IMO you could apply you last sentence to just about 99% of the shit we buy.

Sorry... if it keeps you healthy, than its worth it. But how much does this thing cost!?! I'm guessing a few hundred, cause Nike is way overpriced. |
