A word of warning

Being the cheapskate that I am, I’m using the Nike+ kit without actually spending 75 quid on a pair of trainers. I’m doing this by positioning the sensor strategically in my smelly sock. This is not ideal, as I’ve just discovered. My nike.com training program today called for a 2km walk. Dead easy, thought I, I walk a lot more than that every day. So, off I went and reached the first milestone (well, 0.5k stone) after a short time. I then proceeded to get on with the rest of it, reaching the half way point as expected. Then the sensor shifted in my shoe – not a problem. Ten minutes later I checked the display and was still at the half way point, or just after, and I had no average speed. Repositioned the sensor and all was well.

So the long and short of it is, I either need to buy a pair of Nike+ trainers or one of the little legband thingies, because today I’ve walked probably 4 or 5k and it’s only counted 2. Bah.
