Make more options for describing your run...
there aren't enough choices for how I felt, and not
even a "night run" option. I have to choose
"cloudy".....

Nike + is great ..... its a little like any other game/challenge on the internet ..... you want to rack up points (in this case miles) so you want to run more... its great ...... i love running and then uploading an looking at what I got

SCOTTYruns

I agree with IDFinfantry...need more options for describing the run...like rain, windy, or night. Running in the rain and a night are things every run has experienced or should experience at some point...I few more options for how the run felt too!!!

dougatevalto

This is awesome and is a great motivator!
Thanks Nike! Can you add a feature so
calibrations count as a workout? I just ran 2 miles
and it won't show on my profile.

Nike does need more run description icons for women....pms...dms...ams... the other faces are good for the one week a month I'm not suffering from some personality affliction!! May I suggest a face with tears....a GRRR!!! face?? How about an I'm annoyed eye rolling character? ...assuming a finger gesture(to be used for the days women have to suffer from grown men whose only means of entertainment is shouting out lewd comments to women runners) is out of the question....

Its not easy, but if you stay consistent, you will see
the benefits !!

I love the levels involved with the colors, it's really motivating. Also I think that there should be a night option for describing the run, and more how you felt options in between so so and awesome.

How do you track your progress at nike?

agbenson

How about more options for the run graph?

I don't actually get much from graphing time against speed. Can I change the axes to graph time against distance, distance against speed, etc?

I could just do it myself if there were an easy, transparent way to access my raw data.

Looks good. I guess all that standing out in the
sun last week and walking around all day helped
to keep my legs relatively strong. Thanks USNSC!

I am a horrible runner. I am doing the walk to run program right now to drop the pounds. I have to take it a little easy since I have a plate and 8 screws in my ankle. I love this Nike+ though. Helps to keep me motivated

Nike has kept me motivated until now, but the last
two runs are not registering (total of 9.4 miles)
which is very frustrating, especially since I signed
up for Nike contests over the weekend.

pappastashko

Prior to NIKE+ 0 miles no interest. Since receiving this for Christmas from my daughter in 6 months have gone 1300 miles and lost 25 pounds. Thanks J. NIKE + rocks on. PS: Two systems and 4 pairs of sneakers to-date also a new wardrobe soon. THAT WAS EASY!!!!

New Pearlizumi running shoes & Nike+ sport
band replacing the old. Just modified the super
feet insert to accommodate my Nike+ sensor as I
am now not running in a Nike shoe. The last pair
of Zoom Vormero 4 were just not that great to run
in anymore, time to explore new shoes...a very
expensive & time consuming process.

Success on the custom install! Feels like nothing
is there & I know the sensor is properly secure
and placed. The new running shoes are ready to
take me the next 300+ miles....

ritaville

I found the only way to stay motivated is to view/sign up for a run in my area. I then work toward keeping up with everyone else as much as possibe. I take the time of my first certified run and try to improve my time for the next run. The nike sportband has helped me keep up with my run and improve where needed. I will continue to do my best for myself. I hope this will help someone in staying motivated. Good luck and keep your head up while walking or running...

The website is kind of weird at times, but if everything worked smooth it would be amazing. For what its worth though, very helpful and I look forward to losing weight and gaining stamina and muscle.

Is it me or the Broadcasting section on Settings
has a bug? The Save button does not work. I only
need to broadcast my completed runs not all the
checkboxes. I brought it up to Nike Support last
week but the feature is not fixed still. Any
suggestions?

You are keeping me motivated Nike+! It is always rewarding to see how many miles I ran, calories I burned, pace! Bragging about it on FB really gives you a boost when running!

Good stuff!

I want to be able to compare my runs like on the
original nike +. It was an excellent tool for tracking
your progress on a particular route. Don't need
any of this minis rubbish or brag function. I just
want an analysis tool to improve my running, is
this too much to ask Nike????? You had it right
and then threw it all away and gave us a worse
system, sort it out i'm sick of asking.
