Review from
Amy at Wiggle
After a few triathlons this summer I’ve decided to concentrate on my running in preparation on the Nike 10K Human Race, so as a fellow employee of Wiggle I am always trawling the site for new products, yesterday I came across the ‘Nike Plus Ipod sensor and Receiver Kit’. After reading a little more about this product I realised that my Nike + trainers were compatible. The instructions state ‘Chips fits in your Nike+ shoe and sensor plugs into your iPod Nano; Instant audio feedback on speed and distance travelled. Wireless connection; flexible and easy to use in any conditions.’ I thought to myself this seems amazing it cannot be that simple something has to go wrong! Sure enough I popped the sensor into my shoe and away I went. The Nike + option pops up onto your Ipod Nano menu screen and you can choose many settings; from how many calories you burn to the distance you would like to run. A voice updates throughout your training regime how far you have travelled and how many calories you have burnt. I promise you’ll be amazed.
In conclusion...
I couldn’t believe this little piece of technology marketed at such a great price could give me so much joy.
