This new toy was manufactured for me.
1. I already had a nano.
2. I run often with my nano.
3. I already use an online running log to keep track of my runs.
4. I love to know my pace, mileage, and time, but I hate doing math while I'm running.
5. I love toys!
I used the sport kit for two weeks before my shoes came in the mail. From the box the sensor was only off .03 miles per mile for my running stride.
If you run 3-5 miles at a time, you might not even bother to calibrate it.
I am training for a marathon. So, that made it about .5 miles off for my whole run.
I got the shoes before my last long run and decided to finally calibrate the sensor.
Once I did, the mileage was exact. I was impressed. :-)
From what I could tell, the sensor worked just fine without the special shoes.
I attached it to my old running shoes with adhesive velcro. It worked fine.
That being said, I love the new shoes. I didn't get the flagship nike+ shoes. I got the ones best for distance runners, Air Max Moto+. I like not having to think about the sensor.
If want to stick with your old shoes there are some awesome ways to outfit your sensor,
obligatory craftster plug! ;)
In short, if you have a nano and you like running ~ Get this new toy!
:)
