Apps Nike Run Club 5.12

Does the latest version of NRC work for you guys? When I start the NRC run on my phone it won't sync with my watch... it will only run on the phone but not on AW unless I started a separate run on the watch. Any ideas?

I haven't used NRC in ages, but if I remember correctly, if I wanted to use my AW, I had to start the run using the AW. If I start a run using the iPhone, then my AW doesn't do anything at all.

Honestly, Nike seems to have very little interest in keeping NRC usable. Seems to get worse every time the update the app. The app itself seems to be a focused on advertising Nike gear and their athletes. They removed functionality from their website. They routinely kill support for devices. I could go on and on.

My advice, leave NRC as soon as you can. At least for recording the actual runs. If you need to keep your Nike stats (like me and others on this forum), the workaround is to sign up for a free Garmin Connect account and link to it from within the NRC app. I use an app called iSmoothRun for running and it syncs up with Garmin Connect, and NRC by proxy. iSR isn't perfect, but it functions consistently. The AW app is basically a display for the iPhone iSR app, although you can run without the iPhone if you choose to. The latest version seems to have fixed the issues I was having with HR readings. It's $4 one-time.
