Calibration Problem
21/04/08 12:22
My Sunday run was about 11 miles, the Sportband says
14! (I wish). It's quite accurate over shorter
distances but once you start running LONG runs, then
it isn't quite so good.
Luckily, there is a calibration option... I guess I need to fiddle with that.
I'll keep you posted.

Did my usual 10k last night with the Nike+ Sportband
(see previous post).
Pros:
Quick/easy to setup
Press & run... no ipod menu's to fiddle with (no headphone wires)
Good value, only £40.00 and comes with an extra running chip for your shoe.
Easy to pause/resume workouts
Very quick to upload info to Nike... plug in to usb - upload - pull out. (no clicking required)
Cons:
Small screen, hard to read at a glance
The sportband doesn't come with batteries that can be replaced, instead it charges from the USB port. I've had no issue's yet with battery life.

Just bought myself a new gadget,
the Nike+ Sportband. Released here in the UK on
the 10th of April.
It allows you to use your Nike+ shoes without an ipod, and costs considerably less than a new ipod (just £40).
The last race I ran banned ipods completely, so this little gizmo would have been useful.
I'll go out for a test run later tonight and let you know what I think.
