Nike+ Challenge

[neilh]

Well I still haven't started as I'm still trying to shake illness from over Christmas

Still, should be feeling up to it by the time it's getting warmer

[Digger]

Right, I now have the technology.

Can anyone explain in words of one syllable how I get the thing to record me going running, and if I need to set anything up before I just go off running? I presume I need to calibrate it or something so it knows how far one step is etc?

I have ipod, cable, headphones, what looks like the trainer bit, and what looks like the receiver bit in front of me, ready for first instruction.

Digs.

I'll put music and things on it for you later, dear.

You can cook the dinner and do the ironing whilst I do

Stick the trainer bit in your trainer, receiver bit in the ipod and have a look at the settings on the ipod.

You can calibrate it over a known distance, or just have a go on a treadmill and see how close it is already.

The only other bit is to set up iTunes so it can upload your data.

Did you get that Amy? Have access to treadmill on Thursday, should be able to calibrate

Can I have The Quo, The Eagles, Queen, Guns & Roses, and the Cheeky Girls on there? Good. Helen, you're getting your ipod back with some decent music on it

Digs.

*shakes head*

Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

[Helen F H]

From what i remember, you do what Neil said Oh and make sure the date is set correctly on the iPod otherwise it plays merry hell with the online stuff.

Have fun

Think ive picked up my first sporting injury of 2009. My left hand which went numb running yesterday even 20 hours later still has 2 numb fingers and the palm between them. Is there such a thing as minor frostbite!

Gym later today for me which im going to hate. Massively overcrowded with new year resolution people who usually last 4-5 weeks before never being seen again. Queues 2 deep for treadmills will people wearing thick fleeces walking on them at a speed slower than a normal walking pace whilst holding on with 1 hand and sending SMSs with the other.....

Oh, plus i hate treadmills anyway. Overheating-causing, chronic boredom inducing, dangerous contraptions

I'm still waiting for the blinking lace pouch thingy. Buggered if I'm spending any money on trainers

Not got any cable ties? Either that or a spare bit of plastic bag should do it
