I want a Garmin.... alot.
More accurate and has a heart rate monitor... I do think that ^ will not wash with some people as the opportunity to "bend the truth" is too great.-------------------
I think it's more about the motivation possibilities that happen BEFORE and AFTER the run was completed, if you want to get an accurate reading on your run, there is tons of options out there, and some of them been around before we were born, the reason nike+ is so popular, it has nothing to do with being accurate (which is debatable) is about the seamless integration with the computer and being able to create, join, evaluate races with a large number of users. Until garmin (or any other device) achieves that or bring something new to the table, they won't be as popular.my 2cts
- nike + = more casual runner
garmin = more serious
there are more casual runners than serious so nike will dominate the marketwhyte39 - dominate the marketwhyte39
- someone needs to create a device with garmins features, and nike's online communitywhyte39
- I dont agree, I think there is appeal on both sides for both kind of runners.Meeklo
- i'm not suggesting that both dont have features that would benefit both types of runners. Cause sure they do.whyte39
- to be fair, i'm a recent convert. so my view may be skewed, but I used to love my n+ now i'm wondering how i lived without the Garminwhyte39
- my Garminwhyte39
- nike + = more casual runner

count me in

We could start in 1 or 2 weeks.
People Please post here if you'd join if we start in 1 week. If we can get more than 15 people we could start next monday. If not, we should start in 2 weeks to give people time to join.
Looks like Meeklo won't join or create the new challenge, so I will do it this time. Just need to know if there's enough people to start right away.

New challenge anyone?

is the new challenge starting today?

oh, and to that point, people can post a link, as they are manually uploading their stats, to their official stats. that would prevent bending the truth, and would also allow for checking if there were any suspicions of cheating.

I've had an idea, which may/may not hold any weight here, but has anyone checked out www.dailymile.com? you can make challenges, but it isn't just for nike+(yet you can still upload your n+ data). Supports all makes and models(just nike+ right now for automatic uploads, they are in the process of making support for garmin). But you are able to manually log your distance.The main reason I'm suggesting this is that I folded and bought a Garmin, but I also know that we could likely get more people in these challenges if we use somewhere that supports more than nike.
Thoughts?

so is this starting today?
- lvl_130
i will join if i can find a new nike+ wristband! i said before, and i will say it again, they are impossible to get right now.
is anyone else finding this to be difficult? it's really annoying, these nike+ bands are nowhere to be found. :\
- and if they made the lcd to last more than 6 months i will call it a nike++. right now, more of a nike--lvl_13
- well they were discontinued as far as I know. There's rumours that nike will release a new one sometime in the near future.VectorMasked
- i talked to some sales people and they seem to think there is no way nike discontinued it?? they said sales were huge!lvl_13
- but yeah, hopefully a new one without the inverse lcd and a light added!lvl_13
- VectorMasked0
bump!
just checking to see if y'all still alive.
When should the new date be?

So I haven't checked this thread since I did my toe. It's still on the mend, I think I have some nerve damage as I have no control over said toe.
I will be joining the next challenge for sure, I also have a half marathon in September so this is perfect starting point to do some proper training.Congrats Flutter.... What was the winning distance? (sorry too ashamed to check the Nike site)
