Gonna get out running tonight so will see what happens when I upload my run, fingers crossed I'll get into the challenge OK.
Hope everyone else manages to get signed up soon.
Anyway, I've sent out invites again and it seems to have displayed the correct user names this time of quite a few user ID's (login email address), so hopefully everyone should get a notice this time when they sign in.
I have 2 users (runlondon & Mike Andrews) who seem to have supplied me with email addresses that they don't use to log into the Nike+ site?? This is just my guess though, so if they can confirm those email addresses we could be almost there!!
ANYONE ELSE WILLING TO JOIN IN?
Better get my running shoes on in a minute, funny though, if it weren't for this challenge I just know I'd talk myself out of going running tonight LOL!!
For some reason my run tonight has uploaded onto Nike+ twice. I'm trying to delete the second entry but if I can't I won't use my gizmo for tomorrow's run. I have done 5.29 miles so far not 10.5!
So pleased we are up and RUNNING.
I did my long run last night (10 miles) the longest I have done.
Having one off tonight, as my legs are killing me. Should be back to normal distance tomorrow.
Mrs M, great sporting attitude. Is this not what it's all about. Well Done.
In keeping with the spirit of ths challenge I've deleted one of the runs too, was one of my worst runs in ages, distance was the norm but I struggled like mad and even walked some way, no shame in walking I know but I haven't had to walk on this route for about 6 weeks grrrrrr!
I've only just realised my calibration has been up the swanny as well. My runs have been around 3.7miles accoring to some mapping software I've been using thats quite accurate and my iPods been clocking it at a mile less. So I reset it tonight to default and started getting better accuracy, will attempt another re-calibration in the week.
Good luck with the runs everyone, look forward to seeing us all progress!!
The time of day for when I went out for my run are way off as well.
Does anyone else have any of these problems? Hope its just early problems that get fixed.
It is quite cool that you get a little man and woman runner on the screen though!
Check the 'time & date' settings on your ipod.
At this rate I will end up going for a run at 2am, just so that I get to use it straight away!! :-)
Does anyone use: http://www.nikerunning.com I've just read that they have a decent running log here that also sync's with your Nike+ data. Might be worth a look for anyone wanting to keep an online log.
Oh dear! I think I will need to dedicate some time to it this evening and try to get it working again. I actually had to come into work without any music today - oh no I could hear other peoples conversations. Not good I really dont want to know all about da kids happenings innit!
I would like to join you if thats ok??.
I ran 2.5miles on monday and was really pleased with the ipod+nike data. I havent calibrated it though as the say its 90% acurate out of the box.
does anyone know how different theirs was after calibration?
It would be great to join you.......if its not toooo late..
my email is
billy@greencabbage.co.uk
Thanks! Billy (bloke, to save any confusion)
Your invites been sent, you've come up as TommyGunn so I assume you'll get the invite when you next log in!
I calibrated by Nike+ about 3 weeks ago and I didn't do it properly and its been clocking my runs way out and I've only just realised. It's meant to be quite accurate if you do it right, I reset it last night and the accuracy has improved a lot.
I didn't realise you had to calibrate it against a known mile marker for instance and I just ran for about 500 meters thinking that'd do.
thanks for the invite.
I have joined it already.
Just need to clock up the miles hey!
at least this should give me a kick up the backside to keep it regular.
thanks
Uncalibrated my Nike+ was way out, not to my favour, it was clocking up to 1.2km more than I was running.
Calibrated it to 0.5 mile but it wasn't brill, so re-calibrated for 1 mile and its only about 30m out now (I am using GMaps and the car tripometer to cross check)
HTH
Anyway........... yesterday I reported that my run had loaded up to the Nike+ website twice as had Mrs Meldrews, so I deleted one of the runs, just uploaded my mini-run today and the duplicate run from yesterday has re-appeared??? It was quite nice being 2nd in the challenge for a few seconds but I have deleted the run AGAIN, you might want to watch for similar happening to you too!
Happy running
AWTF x
otherwise I have to keep searching for it....
Come on David, get those shoes on!!
Going off what AWTF said about calibration, I better get mine sorted out again soon! Have to find myself a good mile marker.
Cheers
Ste
So I will be able to go out for a run at lunchtime, looking forward to it!
I managed to go out last night and calibrate my pod for running, but didnt calibrate to the walking, it is not a must from what i can gather as i dont use the podometer to calculate my walking distances.
It was really accurate when i finished. didnt help when someone pulled up wanting directions though as i had to stop and start again.!!
its all working now, soo thats the important part - thanks through billy wizz.
Just been out for a short run (went kickboxing last night so quite sore), I have to say this is a really cool bit of kit and a massive motivator. As I said I have not been running long and have yet to catch the running bug, so hopefully this will help me.
I was thinking of starting Aikido but just havent got round to it!
you are right about motivation though, these things are great, i just hope i can keep it up.
this is where this forum should help.
