Nike Plus iPhone app; so far, so good.

A gorgeous day for racewalking so I did a little over an hour on one of the local trails. That was a little over 4 miles, which is plenty given there’s a 10K race coming up. Don’t want to get stale for the races.

So I did try out the iPhone Nike Plus App on the walk. And I have to say it worked well. If it lost the GPS signal, I wasn’t aware of it. Comparing the distance kept by Nike Plus and the Polar watch and shoe pod came pretty close, so I think the app works. It does synch to the Nike Plus site, which doesn’t have as many features as the Runkeeper one. But, hey, the app works and Runkeeper doesn’t all the time.

I was hoping the geniuses who wrote the app would have figured out how to track without eating large amounts of battery. Alas, they haven’t. Maybe some other app will, or maybe it’s not even possible.
