Uber running geek
October 31, 2006
Once in a while, I see lithe, beautiful people running along the street with their ipod nanos snugly attached to their arm band, blasting getting-jiggy-with-it music into their ears. Now what if they had a pair of NIKE+ running shoes – the latest offering from Nike that allows you to monitor your running progress? There is a sensor in your shoe that communicates with the receiver that hooks up to the bottom of your ipod nano and while pounding the tarmac, the display on your happy little nano tells you how long you’ve been running, how fast, how far, how many calories burned etc. You can even download the details of your run onto their website, set goals and monitor your progress. Now that is some serious geeky running.
