gimmieslack - I will add you in in short order...
I was wondering about the nike+ sport band...say for example one has the Nike+ipod and the sport band and use them together - that would be a 'double dip' that could not be easily detected...theoretically each reciever would map to the ipod or band...interesting - some folks may see their mileage spike - or actually double with this item...

it does seem possible. but maybe nike+ would see that the workouts started at the same time?
My Nike+ is being weird, at the end of my last 2 runs (5.5 miles) the last .5 miles it gives me a 19min/mile pace which doesn't make sense. I really need to calibrate this thing at a track. Maybe tomorrow after work.
Either way, I got the clear DLO shell ($3.99 at Best Buy
)for my 2nd gen Nano and with the belt clip on it I can clip it to the side of my shorts or behind me and I don't even know its there. The nano is such a lighter device from my 80gig Classic.

not sure what's going on there. are you slowing down a lot, or walking?
that's cool. i never though about clipping it on the back of your shorts. i might try that sometime
Are you suggesting using two devices at once? If it did work it would be cheating, and thats enough for me to not try using both.
Also you have to link the foot sensor with any given device so I'm pretty sure you could not use one pedometer with 2 devices or vice-versa.
And twoodcc I'm not walking at all, no big deal I'll calibrate and hope it resolves itself.
Ha, 15 minutes. I expect an update every 24 hours at least, but yeah, I'm in no hurry.
ahaha yeah, im on this challenge that's for over 200lbs ers.. and I'm trying to stay on top 10 so I like to see where my stats are at all time... i think it's just that this nike+ thing is my new toy so yeah, I think in a week or so I'll still run and all but I won't care to keep looking on my challenges as much, not every 3-4 hours liek now
at least..lol
it may solve the issue, it may not. so you're saying it says 19'00 a mile while your still running?
yeah they are terribly slow. and it doesn't seem like they're trying to fix the issue

yeah i used to be like that, checking the challenges all the time. but since so many people joined, the servers are so slow it's not even worth it
thanks. i'm not in Canada, so i guess that's the world. i just wish i could see where i rank from everyone. it used to display this when you went to the leader board. it would show the top 10, and then where you stand. i was in the upper 70's of everyone on nike+, at least at one point. not sure where i am now
Yes - I agree it would be cheating, thus my concern about the possibilities of it.
Oh I don't know, I don't look at the iPod while running at all. But I've only put 4 runs on the thing so far so I will give it a bit more time before I come to a verdict.
i see your point, and was/am concerned about the same thing.
oh ok. yeah give it some more time and see what happens
That's what I think. The data would match exactly across the two devices, and I don't think nike+ would count it twice. It's like if you put one of your old data files on the ipod again; it doesn't get counted twice.
Here's a way to test.
1) Set your computer either not to launch itunes when the ipod is connected, or set itunes not to sync your ipod's data automatically.
2) Run with both, and connect both when you're back at the computer.
3) Reveal hidden files
4) Check for the .xml file on each device (I'm assuming the sportband drive can mount)
I'm guessing the .xml is only going to be on the sportband, OR it will be on both but will only upload once.
For my part, I'd just run with a sportband + a shuffle rather than a nano.
side note: What I said about my new sensor being more accurate than my old? I was completely wrong. I can't alter the overall pace of the run by more than ~20 sec/mile, and that's with a dramatic change in pace.
hopefully we will.
yeah, that's probably what would happen
what can i say, i'm not surprised. and i don't think you are either
does anyone know if it is ok if my friend gets one too and he links it to his ipod and we run side by side.. is this going to work or is it going to mess up my numbers or somehting?
nvm found teh ansert ot his on the nike+ FAQ
I think Nike should really really make an iPhone friendly website it sucks I can t NRC my challeges on mi iPhone. Oh well. Soon we ll just get flash player I hope.

It is not going the way I was hoping either. You see, last year as a freshman I could run a sub 5 minute mile and this year I can't get close. My coach said I show all of the signs of being anemic (I hoped I spelled that right
) and I should get a blood test. He said I would probably end up getting some iron supplements.That is what I would do, at least during the summer. I would wear a normal watch once the CC season starts but during the summer, I would end up running between 500-600 miles in a little over two months.

500-600 miles in a bit over two months thats just insane to me...lol and here i was feeling all cool trying to reach my goal of 100 kms in 8 weeks lol
Right, bought a nano, nike armband, nike+ kit and some okayish sports headphones. Please count me in on this challenge thing. My nike+ id is wattso. Looking forward to it
Thanks

sub 5 as a freshman is very good. that's better than what i did as a freshman.
i don't see why you couldn't use it as your regular watch during the CC season, since it does function as a stopwatch as well
