I'd be up for a January challenge. Does that collide with Valentine? I don't know when that is. Now that you're back it'll be easier if you just keep inviting people since you already have all the usernames.

sure when i get home from work i'll start sending out the invites :cool:

January 1st - 31st ok with ya

[rumbletum]

I'd be up for any January challenges as well. ID is rumbletum or matt.ellard@mac.com

Congratulations twoodcc, on winning the challenge! Christmas happened here so it was difficult to find time to run, but my legs also needed the time to recover so it's all for the better I think.

thanks Gekko. you gave me some great competition. i wouldn't have reached that many miles over my winter break without this challenge. so congrats to you as well!

[jelloshotsrule]

someone should post the results from the last challenge so that those of us who didn't get in on it can see who the top guns are! hah

Here's the Top 10

I went to a Nike Factory store and they were sold out of all the Nike+ except for one womens model. I plan on getting the whole kit after Macworld.

I'd order online, but I have wide feet, so I need to try shoes on before buying them, and because I like testing shoes before buying them.

I went to the Apple store to buy a Nike+ Sport Kit for a christmas present for someone and they were sold out. They recommended I go to Champs. They had one left behind the counter. I guess it's starting to get more popular.

[sak7777]

I'd like to join too! Let me know where I need to send/pm my login info.

Thanks.

I'd like to join. Nike name is jessica. or iamjessica @ mac dot com.
I'll be slow and in last place due to a second surgery to correct the 12-1 disaster, but I'd like to join. liketom you have a pm from me from weeks ago in case you need it.

Thanks

I just PMed liketom the email addy I used to sign up on the nike+ website, as I'd like to be a part of this, too. One of my New Year's resolutions is to run 400 miles, and I'll be keeping track of that distance with my new (refurbished) nano and nike+ kit. I can't wait for it to get here!

If there's anything else I need to do to get started, let me know!

[Mr. Anderson]

I'm in as well - I just did my first run with the nike+ today :D

I'm sure to fall behind for the first couple months, but every time I start running again, I'm shocked at how quickly the miles add up. I'll catch up and be ahead of the pace in no time!

I'm signed up now and I won't come close to winning - but I'll be taunting all those around me in the middle of the pack :D

And its fun that it starts 7 PM tonight for me - that way I can get a run in before midnight here.

just like above - maybe this should be a sticky with rules for the thing and updates on the mileage. I'll set it up or one of the other mods can if they get to it before me - but it will be a sticky in the community that no one can post to but gives all the info on who to PM for getting on the list and maybe a weblink to the stats.

I've PM'd liketom :D

[gauchogolfer]

Thanks for the invite, and good luck everyone!

[jessica.]

K I'm in like flint. Of course I'm just in it to be last so no one else to be. I do have a trip to new york 1-6 to 1-11 and then a surgery to correct the surgery disaster of 2006 (12-1-2006 to be exact). So yeah, running is gonna be interesting.

[kentrox99]

Does anybody have any trouble with the Nike+ widgets?
The challenge widget always tells me that I have to be in a challenge to view, even though I am in the challenge.
I am logged in and can see my run data, but it just always shows that warning. strange

[Mr. Anderson]

Occasionally they hiccup, but i've got 4 of them running right now and they work fine. Try removing it and starting a new one.

So TheDude has over 4 miles already, nice :D

who's TheDude? And who's Mr. A? Its not me.

[sak7777]

I notice that the status of the challenge is actually different between the website and the widget. The widget shows the dude is #1 when in fact someone has beat him by 3 miles.

[liketom]

i think the website is having issues again - i keep having issues with the flash part of it - anyway i'm getting ready to go for a run after work so you better watch out twood , i'm coming for you :D

I can't even get on the website, says it's peak time! It's 08:42 in the UK so I thought most users (probably based in the US) would be asleep!

EDIT: Been unable to get on for 2 hours now, I hope they are upgrading their servers or something and this is not a sign of things to come as too many people got nike+ for x-mas!!!

[liketom]

Going out for a run tonight after work about 6pm and just for fun i thought i'd take a piccy of google earth to show you where i'm running 1.5mile stretch twice there and back for my 3 miles :cool:

[Mr. Anderson]

has anybody been able to get on the nikeplus website? This is really pissing me off. And I have to force quit safari every time i go there because it hangs up. That "Nike+ is where it's at" tag line is getting to be a bit much. Bleh...

don't want to take any chances

I've had no luck getting there either, but apparently my data is being uploaded.

I guess it's like the gym - always busy in January and early February, then vacant once again by March. :rolleyes:

I went to my gym last night and it was packed. I had never seen any of those people there before.
Locked into a contract they will stop using by spring.
Oh well

[jelloshotsrule]

i'd go for a run if i wasn't stuck at work!

i wonder if nike will upgrade the servers, or if they'll just bank on people giving up after a few weeks. hah

emw- how do you know it's still uploading? are your widgets updating properly?

[emw]

emw- how do you know it's still uploading?Mr. Anderson's screen shot above showed my latest data, which is how I know. I haven't even looked at my widget.

* looks at widget *

Yes, my widget is updated - although I don't know how "updated" the data is, since I uploaded it last night about 10:30pm CST.

[Mr. Anderson]

I guess it's like the gym - always busy in January and early February, then vacant once again by March. :rolleyes:

But that's a bit unacceptable for a big company like nike not to be able to handle the traffic. And its only going to get worse as more and more people get the things. My wife has one and hasn't even registered yet - how many more at there like her and what are they going to think when its all screwed up.

Nike - take some of your own advice - Just Do It!

D :mad:

[emw]

But that's a bit unacceptable for a big company like nike not to be able to handle the traffic.Oh, I completely agree - wasn't trying to justify it. I can only imagine that traffic will continue to grow, especially if they do indeed come out with a watch to tie into the sensor (that doesn't require the Nano).

And the thing is, they know how many of these things they've manufactured (and sold) and so should have had enough advanced "warning" of the impending traffic to plan for it.

[liketom]

justr got back from my run but unable to upload any data to nike still - dam thing:mad: 3.58 miles :D but for the first time my chest feels fine but my legs have had it lol

I've got in this morning but it's very very slow! Plus the Challenges page is reporting "We are restoring this section" so looks like they had some issues! Actually now I have gone back and now it just reports like I'm in no challenges when I am actually in 5!

[Mr. Anderson]

I'm wondering if the challenges section was the one causing the issues. Hopefully they fix the problem soon.

D

[emw]

Actually now I have gone back and now it just reports like I'm in no challenges when I am actually in 5!I see the same thing. I'm guessing we might have to start from scratch on the challenges. A lot of people are going to be pissed about that.

[Mr. Anderson]

I've gotten two things - one is the generic challenge page - with no link to create a new one and this:

http://att.macrumors.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=65433&d=1167923084


So I think we'll be ok.

D

[liketom]

i hope so it's been down for a long time now! and i want to see how i'm doing compared with everyone else

[emw]

I dunno - I see it up and it shows no challenges. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm guessing the dB got hosed and we lost our challenge data. :(

[sak7777]

In that case...I'm still #1. :)) j/k

That would blow, if all the challenge info is lost.

[virus1]

that would give me a chance to pick up a nike+ kit myself, and get my lazy ass of this chair every night. oh, i also need a nano.. :eek:.. not buying a think till monday though.. apple might steal its own sales.

[Mr. Anderson]

The Nike+ Discussion boards had a message in the announcement section

Due to increased traffic (we’re happy to see you are taking your New Year’s resolutions seriously!), we needed to temporarily shut down certain areas of the nikeplus site in order to make some changes and stabilize the platform for you. The site messages what areas are impacted. We apologize for the inconvenience but can assure you that your workout data is safe. So go for a run and revisit us shortly!


So it should be safe to assume that things will be back to normal as soon as they fix this problem.

I actually managed a 5.25 mile run tonight - and it didn't kill me :D

Tomorrow I might be saying something else. And the nike+ site is down for now and won't be up until tomorrow morning....and its got to be one of the all time lamest "this site is closed" pages ever. This from a major corporation :rolleyes: wow....

i just thought why is this not all over the news? major company website that interacts with the iPod is down for a third day!


jelloshotsrule - my best before was 9:51 per mile so dropped it by over a minute :)

my plan is to get it down to 7:30 per mile, but that maybe some time yet;)

EDIT: just thought maybe Nike are re-doing there website for a new release at macworld next week? new Nike+iPod product anyone :)

Its up and running now it seems - still wonky at times for me though - but if I try it a few times I get where I want.

is there a limit to how many workouts you can hold on your ipod? like after a certain amount of time or workouts then you're personal bests get cleared? mine was cleared like 2 days ago. anyone else have this problem?

[ziwi]

No problems as far as that was concerned (losing personal best info). Had server connect errors on the Nike site, when trying to upload 4 stored runs from iPod. Had to go into the iPod and correct the out of sync issue where the number of runs on the iPod was larger than on the nike site.

Also had another stage thing happen today where it did not upload the run with the server error, but the mileage was credited to the goal. Corrected the run and uploaded again and thankfully (depending on perspective) it did not pad the goal mileage.

Had the same thing happen w/the server error three times now. But it always uploads properly after a disconnect and reconnect w/o padding the goal amount. (And I'd agree it's thankfully :P Though I'm feeling quite a bit less lazy right now than usual, haha).

It'd be nice to have a lot more control of the data on the nano. I assume that after many runs the space it takes up won't be too bad, but at the same time...

i'm thinking that if you run out of space, it clears them out. either that, or mine messed up somehow. my personal best is fine on the nike website, but not on my nano though

Huh...that's really weird. Very disconcerting when you see Nike give error messages that say oh don't worry, it's all on your nano anyways and then your nano does something like that. :eek:

[jelloshotsrule]

i believe i read in the fine print that your nano will hold your last 99 workouts, so shouldn't be too much worry there.

hopefully nike gets their ass in gear on site upgrades

[twoodcc]

i believe i read in the fine print that your nano will hold your last 99 workouts, so shouldn't be too much worry there.

yeah, so when you get to 100 workouts, you lose all 99 and starts over at 1. it should just delete the first workout and so you'd always have 99, instead of starting over.

and the site is still messed up. now i have to log in when i click 'visit' after connecting my ipod

[Mr. Anderson]

i believe i read in the fine print that your nano will hold your last 99 workouts, so shouldn't be too much worry there.

I don't think I'd want to keep 99 workouts on my iPod anyway - you'd have a hard time remembering any of them.

I went on the nike+ discussion boards to see if there were any comments/solutions in the works for the site and I got tired of looking. They have a bunch of threads and "what nike needs to do" and its all members voicing their opinion. No sign of Official Nike people. Bleh

If anyone else goes there and finds something more specific, post it.

you're right, the only reason is for you're personal best on you're nano. it keeps more pb's than the nike website does (2 mile, 5 mile, etc)

Excellent. I had given up hope on it.

How frustrating.
My Nano is not being recognised by iTunes any more. So I can't upload all my running data for January. Sod it.
The apple support forum says to reset my ipod, which is just fantastic, because then I lose the nikeplus data altogether, not to mention a few hard-fought PBs.
So don't scratch my ass from the next challenge, I'm out there, I'll be back.
Unless some genius has a better idea before I reset the little beasty.

Edit: Hold the phone, I'm back. Got some help and saved some of the data at least.

Now I just got so excited I went out and bought Hamish Carter's Nikeplus workout: Improve your endurance.
Now theres a recommendation, for sure.
Look out top 10.

So when I bought the Nike+ kit to go with my nano I started up a running program (I'm a golfer, I've never consistently jogged before) going off of Flowbee's recommended beginner's workout. Increments of running+walking, gradually weaning off of the walking up to 30 minutes continuous running. Today was my last day before the 30 minute workout, so we'll see how that goes on Monday.

The nike+ kit and the MR challenge has been great to keep me going. I just passed a cumulative 50 miles run since Dec. 8th when I purchased it, and I expect the 100 mile mark to follow pretty quickly. It certainly wouldn't have happened without the new kit.

Thanks everyone!

Well you're doing pretty good this month. Keep up the hard work. I just started running 5k on the treadmill with no walk break a couple weeks ago. It feels a heck of a lot better.

glad to hear it!

Thanks ^^

I just did my first 30 minute straight through workout, and it went fine. I think the mental part was tougher than the physical. That's where having the music going really helped out. Thanks Apple!

I had to recently restore my nano since it was freezing up when playing podcasts, and as a result I lost my workout data I'd had stored up. Luckily it didn't clear it from the nikeplus.com website as well. Anyone know of a way to get that data back from nike.com into iTunes so they are consistent? I imagine it's a long shot.

Way to go!

I usually have my iPod in one ear to hear my progress, and the TV on to keep me a little more distracted. I'm not a fan of running, but I do feel that I'm at the point where I feel it's routine, and I have to do it.

your welcome :)

congrats on the workout! good job :)

i wouldn't worry to much about keeping everything on your nano. you can only keep so many runs on your nano (depending on how many songs i guess). my nano has erased the workouts on it by itself at least 3 times.

Good new challenges, well done!

I just found this podcast, probably many of you know about it, called Podrunner. It's an LA DJ who's put together a bunch of ~1 hour mixes with different bpm rates, depending on your pace. I'm downloading a couple now to see how I like them. Anyone else heard them?
