glad to have you. :) Sounds like you'll be good competition in the overall distance challenge!

Great, another person to keep me out of the top five.. grrr

thanks :) . but still it makes me mad that it didn't count though. oh well

Looks like you're going to have to run it again. The Nike+ site is a bit wonky, who knows it just may take a couple days to appear.

Just to confirm - I think it needs to be the first 5K of your run. That is, if you ran a fast 5K in the middle of a longer run, it won't count toward the challenge even though it will record the PR for your records.

That being said, it sounds like you did indeed run just the 5K, in which case it sucks that it didn't record it. That's a great time!

i guess one can hope that it will magically appear

yeah, i just ran a 5k workout. yeah, it sucks. thanks. i guess it will help my training either way, which is good. oh well, nothing i can do about it now except run it again maybe. we'll see
 
sorry to hear that. Did the nike+ accurately record the time? Last month I had a 17:45 5k on the last day of the month, and it got uploaded, but the sensor had been so off during the run that it got reported as over 20 minutes.
 
Do you have to upload after each run or can I do 2 – 3 runs and then upload to Nike+?
No, you can upload all of them whenever. Doesn't have to be one at a time. On a side note, just ran my first miles for the MR Challenges, after joining the Club this afternoon. It'll be fun!

Well, just uploaded my info and it looks like I'm in 4th place in most of the challenges. You guys are lucky that I've just started up running again the past few weeks, and don't have my major running numbers where they should be yet ;-) Wait 'til April, I'll be givin' twoodcc and QCassidy a good run for their money :) Maybe not in fastest mile or 5k, but in overall distance

i'm not sure about the accuracy b/c i just went by what the nano said. i did a 5k workout, so it told me when i was done. not sure how far i actually ran.

lookin' forward to it :) too bad it's track season right now, cuz a lot of my running is in flats or spikes on the track, and clearly no ipod.

Rick, I've looked at your "runs", you've got decent distance, but @ 11:45 min/mile?!?! Your fastest 5k is 33:34? Are you walking? :D

Psh, Canadians :p

P.S. Whoever admin of Nike+Challenge is, please make sure you get me included in all of the April challenges, thanks!

Zing, that stung.

Not an excuse, but my Nike+ is about .2km on the km. Not going to make a huge difference, but I'm running 5k's under 30. All of my runs up until a couple weeks ago are on the treadmill too. I'm a bit quicker outside.

In the end I weigh 255, give me a break. Hopefully I'll speed up soon. :p
 
Hey, you guys know why my personal records haven't uploaded to the MR Challenge? It says that I have them in my personal record, although it's not on the MR one? For instance, my previous personal record for a mile time was 7:09, but today I ran a 6:40, that's what it says my record is, but it's not that on the MR challenge? Also, my previous record for the 10k was 47 something, and today I ran a 43:59, which would put me in 2nd place just behind QCassidy and in front of twood, but that hasn't registered on the MR 10k challenge either? Is it because I just uploaded the times a few hours ago, and it takes a while to update or what?

P.S. I attached the screenshots of the difference

well the nike site might be messed up. i ran a 19:11 5k last week and it didn't update on the challenge, but it did on my nano.
 
Aaargggh, done a half-marathon this morning and I accidentaly paused the workout 1 minute into the race and never realised :eek:

That does indeed suck. But I'm confused - you run with your iPod but you don't listen to it? When you pause the workout, the music stops.

Also, I couldn't possibly run a complete half-marathon (which I'll be doing again in June) without looking to check my pace and my iPod mileage against race mileage.

I normally run with music, but don't like to do so in a race as I like to take in the atmosphere.

As for the pacing, I use a Garmin Forerunner :)
 
well no, I'm not sure it's the same for the 5k and 10k. But it stands to reason that it would be the same, doesn't it?

I sometimes run with my ipod and no headphones. I like running with music, but not every day. But I'm not going to give up that milage! ;)
