Apple Nike + iPod Sport Kit

Following a knee injury I decided it would be better to have pair of running trainers instead of normal everday trainers for going out jogging. I heard about this Nike+ iPod Sport Kit and bought it along with Nike+ trainers to go along with it. ~~~What is it?~~~ The Apple Nike+ iPod Sport Kit comes with a small sensor which fits under the sole of your left Nike+ running shoe, or if you don't have Nike+ trainers then you can buy a pouch which can be tied to your laces, that the sensor is placed in. Along with the sensor you also get a wireless receiver which plugs into the bottom of your iPod. ~~~Installation~~~ All you have to ...  Read the complete review

Nike+ is a piece of wireless equipment which, along with your ipod tracks the time taken, the pace, calories burnt and the distance of your runs or walks. When looking at prices on the internet, it cost £19 on the Currys website and £20.04 on Amazon. As well as this receiver and sensor pack, you need your ipod and itunes on your computer (which sends your workout data to the Nike+ website). If you dont already have a pair of Nike+ trainers, then you can purchase a special holder for the sensor, which fits onto the laces on your trainers. You can get these on Amazon for around £6 or £7 pounds, depending on the sort you want. You could, of course, get a pair of ...  Read the complete review

If you have the Nike trainer that already has the section to put the sensor in, you'll have to find a way of attaching it to your shoe. I purchased a Nike+ Sensor pouch from Amazon (coast around £6), which you put the sensor in and loop through your ...  Read the complete review

Having over indulged over Christmas and not really being able to tone up a little with general exercise, I decided it was time to take up a bit of gentle running. I decided I would start out going two nights a week for about a mile run, just to break myself back in gently (I hadn't been proper running since I was at school some 10 or so years ago). So I went to my local sports shop and got myself a decent pair of Nike running shoes, half with the thought of getting myself a Nike+ Apple sensor to pair with my iPod. I tried in vain to find the official Nike+ running shoes for under £30 but wasn't able to do so. I settled on a pair of Dart VI which were on ...  Read the complete review

Now I was fairly active when i was younger, i played a lot of sport at school, mainly Basktetball and Hockey, I even became very good at Hockey ending up playing for our men's 1st team by the age of around 14 or 15.
