?regarding the nike +
I don't have the nike +shoes but I bought the pouch for the shoe lace and the chip. Well today was my first run with it and it was wrong  It said that I ran 4.7 something in 40mins but mapmyrun and me driving it came out the 4.5something. Could it be wrong because it's on my shoe lace and not my shoe?

Re: ?regarding the nike +
I'm not sure about the pouch part I have in my shoe), but I have noticed that all my runs from googlemaps are off. I think it might even be from running close the curb and cutting corners closer than a car does, etc KWIM? 4.7 to GM's 5
the nike+ is a tiny bit off. I ran a 4 mile race and it came in at 3.96...so about 1/100th a mile...not too bad.
It was funny, b/c I told DH that the first mile was exactly right...he told me he heard someone say that the first mile was off a bit...so I guess they put it 1/100th mile further...LOL
I've checked nike+ with my GPS watch too and it's pretty much on, but still off from google maps.
why not take it to the track to double check
ETA: have you rebooted your ipod? sometimes I have to do this...I lost a workout once and another time I noticed it had me going at 16 min miles...while running a good pace...both times after I rebooted it was better.

I think I might have to try the track I am curious. How do I reboot my ipod?

Re: ?regarding the nike +
reboot is holding the pause and the center (I think) for the nano. maybe menu and center - but I think pause and center. I usually have to try both by the time I figure it out. You hold it until you see the apple logo come on.
when I lost the workout, I noticed that my history wasn't there when I selected a workout. I read up on the nike+ forums and others have the same issue.

Re: ?regarding the nike +
4.5 and 4.7 don't sound so off to me. The other day I ran outside and my Nike+ said 4.38 and it was mapped as 4.2 I just attribute the difference to running on the sidewalks versus in the middle of the road where I am mapping.
It will be interesting to see what reading I get at the 5k tomorrow. I will probably recalibrate it tomorrow since the course should be very accurate.
Are you on the challenges with us? If not you should join!

not on the challange yet just trying to figure it out first  I did it again today and again it was off a little but I plan on going to the track this wk for one of my runs to see if it's right or not. I know it doesn't sound that big of a diff but my time changes like today it said my time was 8.12mins and did a 5.8 but when i drove it it was 5.5 which made my time like 8:26. Prob just being silly but I can see how it can be off driving it as to running it so we'll see. let me know how accurate it is when you do your race. I would appreciate it.

Re: ?regarding the nike +
You should calibrate your Nike+ to be more accurate with your way of running. Take it to the track and calibrate it for a quarter mile. It will be the most accurate after that. I calibrate mine every few months because it's starts to go off over time.

I wish i read this before I just got back from the track and I did 3miles and it said I did 3.3miles so it's off by .3. I guess I'll be heading back there this wk
