That's cool... Unfortunately for me I do most of my running on a treadmill because of the weather here and... in treadmills, the sensor reads my runs as walks pretty much.
I actually joined a time challenge and out of 80 people I am in last when in reality i am in the top 15.:o(

- Watch these ones...it seems they may slow you down!! ;)nib101
- not bad...
loose the lines on the sides and I like them.Meeklo - Those lines are basically what holds the shoe together. That's why the are so light.VectorMasked
- They are based on the concept of a hanging bridge or something. Like this http://www.panoramio…VectorMasked

I've tried several brands, Asics, Mizuno, New Balance, and Nike. It hasn't been easy to find the right pair. Right now I run with the Nike Pegasus, not bad so far.

I am running in the London leg in the first wave at Wembley Stadium. Really looking forward to it actually.

- I'm guessing that after a few miles your foot develops some sort of thick skin that protects youMeeklo

Just signed up, I'm in.
I just tuck mine under the tongue of my shoes in a tiny ziploc. Doesn't hurt my foot at all.

Eegrek, make sure that your sensor doesn't move while you run, or your data won't be accurate. Nike+ is actually pretty picky, it wants to stay up, and, if possible, still at all times. It's a pain sometimes, but I love it!
- In the beginning it dropped runs and was brutal but I've got it down to something reliable now. thanks!eegrek

To calibrate, do I need to walk when it says walk for a quarter mile or something? I forget how I got it to work before.
- nib1010
I calibrated mine by checking a fixed flat distance of 1km on gmaps pedometer then jogging at a constant speed over that length.
i don't know how accurate gmaps is but all i know is once i calibrated the sensor and run the same route it flags up 1km in exactly the same spot every time.
i'm doing a proper 10km this weekend so i guess i'll see how accurate it is then and report back my findings!

I ran my virtual Human Race today. I couldn't go anywhere where the actual race took place, but I had fun anyway.
Nothing crazy, just trying to cover the distance. Had to do it on the treadmill, and you know that Nike+ doesn't like treadmills.
One week to go before QBN+ C6 starts! :D
