I finally ordered it. In a few days you guys can count me in on the AZ run club.

 

how are you guys doing the challenges?

based on distance? time?

 

Can this work with the ipod mini or just the nano?

 

sweet.

distance


Just the nano.








I've been slacking JJ. I'm going to need to run a marathon to catch up I think.

 

Alright...i'm in....


I already set a goal of 32 miles in a month though....

where do I get in on your challenge?

 

Beetroot, did you calibrate yours or just used it right out of the box? The instructions imply that calibration is not necessary.

 

Dude I am in the same spot
Today I had a job interview so that fucked up my morning
the day before had a final and the other days Its been raining...I am at the same spot

 

I'm in with you guys!

thanks JJ

 

I didn't calibrate mine. I know the distance where I run though, and out of the box mine is very accurate.

 

Fuck you and your running Savio!!!!!
I am running 8 miles tomorrow just so I can beat your ass
Join my challenge and beat me?! NEVAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
oh and good luck, hey it's all for good sports you know!
By the way the challenge ends on Monday

 

whoever wins picks the next challeng

 

I'm going to just sit the rest of this one out. Been doing too much other stuff, no time/energy for running.

ie I'm a lazy bastard

 

BOOOOOOOOO



When do you want to start another challenge? When wont you be busy? I have these next 2 weeks off so I am going to try to get some running in big time to make up for my lazy ass this week.

 

Im thinking about getting a smaller one of these to hold the sensor:

 

That's loser talk.

 

well my other stuff is biking on weekends, and krav maga/kickboxing class during the week. I like both better than jogging

I'll make an effort to get in on the next challenge though, I could start monday... or whenever this current one ends.

...by the way guys... I got mine.... how do I get in on "the club?"

 

After seeing that I've decided I can easily make something myself.

 

...actually, thats what I meant to say, was that you can just "whip up" something like that...

 

why not just stick it in your sock on top of your foot...perfect fit

 

I tried that is and bugs me. I've got sensitive feet. I spend at least few minutes every morning before I run manipulating my socks to make sure that there aren't any wrinkles inside my shoe.

 

I did the velcro thing and took it for a test spin:



It worked really well. This distance is accurate without calibration. However, Imma calibrate it this week at a track just to be sure.

I had a good run, until about the two mile point when someone's dog (that wasn't on a leash) started to chase after me.

 

at the rate I'm going, I should finish off that challenge by this weekend...


Let's start the next challenge Sept 1st....

you guys down for that date?

 

Sure, I'm down.

This morning's data was all fucked up. I did the same run as yesterday (3.33 miles), but it said I only did like 1 mile or so. Don't know what went wrong.

 

Did your Nano lock up?

Did you hear the voice give you updates every .5 miles?

 

The nano didn't lock up. I didn't hear the voice every 0.5 miles, but I didn't hear it on my first run either (which seemed to go fine). Maybe I don't have that setting selected.

I'm going to try to calibrate it and see if that clears up the issue.

 

Cool Sept 1st is a good time, I spent this weekened going to interviews for a part time job...being a poor student sucks

plus got more this week, so early morning runs are out.

 

Yeah you have to activate the settings for it to talk to you or else it will only talk to you at the very end. Another thing is if you press the center button while running it will tell you all your stats.

 

Well, this thing is already working in terms of motivation. I plan to go to Stanford tonight to calibrate it on a track. Then I'll run around campus to see if it's really working.

Along with my run this morning, that will be two runs in one day.

 

im getting in on this. I run a few miles a day, at around 7-8 minutes...where can i order?

 

apple.com or in any apple store.

 

I timed myself for the 1st time in a long time for a mile. I'm not in the best running shape but I pulled in a time of 7 mins 32 secs which isn't bad. I know when I was in high school I was in the mid 6s...

 

Im excited for this.

Rmatic who ran 3 miles on sunday, 3 miles on monday , 3 miles today....todays best was 22 minutes.

i need new kicks bad tho, my new balances arent cutting it...

any recommendations?

i heard the new NB's are good......i have flat feet ..very flat feet....

 

I'm still having problems with mine, even though I calibrated it. I think I've figured out that it doesn't like when I run on trails (softer ground). I'm going to try moving it to a new location on my shoe.

 

wstevens, would it count on a tredmill for proper calibration?

 

Yeah, you could do it on a treadmill I guess. The only problem would be the few seconds that it takes to ramp up to speed on a treadmill, but I'm not sure how much that would matter.

I calibrated it on a track, but since it's still not working right, maybe I should try something else.

 

...the only thing is about using a treadmill is... what if... the treadmill's not accurate? I think the most accurate way would be finding a track at the local high school...

 

wstevens,


dood...you're catching up....

I've been working on my mile times trying to make a personal best...

I want to get into the 6'30" range.....I just ran a 7'21" tonight....

 

I run about 4 miles every weekday morning. It's my primary form of exercise (I also play ice hockey and I'm getting into biking). I'm not really after speed....I usually average around 8.0-8.5 minute miles or so. On good days, I do sub 8 minute miles, but not often.

I finally figured out the porblem with my sensor. I had it velcroed underneath my laces, close to my toes. I kpet it under the laces, but I moved it further up towards where the laces are tied and now it works much, much better.

 

what happened to you guys? I'm beginning to think that this Nike challenge is not the most important thing your lives.
