Overview
Thanks to a unique partnership between Nike and Apple, your iPod nano or iPod touch (2nd generation) becomes your coach. Your personal trainer. Your favorite workout companion.
Tune
Insert the wireless sensor inside the custom, built-in pocket beneath the insole of your Nike+ shoe, then plug the receiver into the Dock connector on your iPod nano. The iPod touch (2nd generation) includes built-in support for the system — no receiver necessary.
Run
Now start your workout. As your run or walk, the sensor sends information to your iPod, tracking your time, distance, pace, and calories burned. If you choose, real-time, spoken feedback can even alert you to milestones throughout your workout.
Sync
Back at your computer, sync your iPod to transfer your workout data to iTunes and nikeplus.com. There, you can evaluate your performance history, set goals, and even challenge other runners to a virtual race.

-
iPod nano 1st generation
-
iPod nano 2nd generation (aluminum)

Got this for my wife and she loves it. She's training for a marathon and can now run around the track 40 times without having to c…Read moreount! She wears Adidas and doesn't like Nike running shoes so we bought a nice small case that attaches the sensor to the shoelaces of any running shoe. It's called the runaway and it's available at switcheasy.com for $9. I highly recommend it.

This product has changed my life

I've just finished mile 400, and I have to say this product has changed my "running life". I've been able to track my progress an…Read mored goals so well, that since buying the nike+, I've recommended it to anyone who'll listen. I love the nike+ website, the concept of the Human Race was awesome, and you can challenge others in private mini races. I even have a nike+ mini me as my screen saver that plays paddle ball when I've been slacking off to remind me to get running! I've used the nike+ shoes, and also bought the 5 dollar pouch so I can use other brands, both seem to be pretty accurate. The set has been working great for a year and a half so far, but if it breaks I won't hesitate to buy another one. I can't imagine life without it!

Love this, can also use with non-Nike+ shoes
Written by MP from North Royalton

This is an inexpensive way to track your runs and it is very Apple-smooth in its ability to use. I didn't like the Nike+ shoes, so…Read more I use the Shoe Pouch to attach it to my shoe, which works perfectly. It is obvious that Apple and NIke worked very hard to make this thing very easy to use. Its an excellent accessory for the iPod. They should however, make it work with all the iPods, not just the Nano.

it realy does work - and your just love using it !!!

i'm a runner and music "geek" so what i have to say is all about using the Nike+ system and how to "customize" your non nike runni…Read moreng shoes
:: setting up
very easy, if you use the nike+ shoes.... but i don't so...
I don't like Nike running shoes - sorry it's just my choice - So i had to "customize" my running shoes.
by lifting up the inner sole and carving a small hole into the dense foam sole does seem a little stupid, but it does work and if your careful and use good DIY or craft skills - you will not notice the sensor or affect the shoes ability, so for you lot out there like me who love to run, you'll most likely not run in nike shoes - but really want to use the Nike+ system - well you can!
:: using the Nike+ system
once all the set up is done and your ready to run, you'll realize just how easy the voice prompt (giving live sats, run time, pace, distance) is to access and just how much it will inspire your runs - not hyping this up too much here - but it really does work!
:: getting home and making it all talk
once your done the iPod will upload your run info to the Nike+ web site (via iTunes) its all very automated - just connect the iPod and click OK and your in!
:: the web site and "seeing" your runs
this is VERY good - the flash based web site works very well and is almost too easy to use! all your runs are there, best times, best distance, compare and review - all great and very useful
:: in conclusion!
this cost me £19 - i had the iPod nano - the running shoes - a massive music library - a wonderful park on my doorstep - a desire to run
the Nike+ system has made it all come together - and just work - in a very Mac way - perfect !
