![]() Route with satellite viewĪ satellite view option is also available on the desktop version of the web site. The full site includes an animation of the most recent run route. The Nike+ running app feeds data to the nikeplus web site, providing another way to pull up data and statistics. I suspect some sort of faulty conversion process in the edit run module of the app. Eventually I found I had to enter 2.0 km for the app to report that I had run 1.61 km, as seen in the screen shot. I used edit run to enter the correct distance, but on closing that screen the app reported a different value than I typed in. I do not now recall the app distance, but the app was short at about 1.53 some kilometers. I used a Garmin GPS to run 1.61 km on the track. In retrospect I suspect I should have done this with the settings set to miles not kilometers. On the fourth of August I attempted a calibration run with the Nike+ running app. If the treadmill is correct, then my actual stride on the treadmill was 0.89 meters. Treadmill dataġ830 meters by the app for 1806 steps on the treadmill suggests the app was using 1.01 meters per step, or about a meter per step. The app is set in kilometers, the default for Nike+ running is in miles. Note the mile measure is based on the treadmill as seen below, not the app. 5.4 mph steady pace run on treadmill for one treadmill mile The uncalibrated app credited me with 1.83 km (1.137 miles) for 1.00 miles displayed on the treadmill (14% long). The app apparently uses a generic step distance to calculate distance. The LG P715 has an accelerometer, which the Nike+ running app can use when indoors on a treadmill to estimate distance based on steps. I cannot carry a GPS and juggle, so splits while joggling were completely unknown. ![]() When I run, I usually juggle three tennis balls. ![]() This is also the first time I have known splits for joggling. I have used splits in my statistics class, data the students can use to calculate 95% confidence intervals and other metrics. Having them automatically available feels luxurious. Determining road splits in the past usually meant hauling a Garmin eTrex, a piece of paper, and a pen, to record the splits. ![]() Nike+ has running specific features including reporting of splits, a capability MyTracks does not have. Way beyond loss of cushioning in the EVA foam. I really do not know how many kilometers I rack up in a shoe before the shoe delaminates, and I always run a shoe until that delamination point. The app also tracks total distance logged on each shoe, a statistic for which I have never had any information. I suspect that the temperature is the result of an online lookup on the server side, not a reading from the telephone. Note that the temperature reported in the screen above only appears after synchronization. I’m using Nike+ running 1.7.2 on an LG Optimus II P715 Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean rig. Nike+ reports total time, calories, average pace, NikeFuel earned, splits, and maps the route one has run if outdoors. MyTracks is not specifically a running app, more a general purpose track and trace route tool. I have been using Google MyTracks since October 2014. This blog pulls together a series of observations I have made over the past couple weeks in other places. Having seen friends using the Nike+ running app here on Pohnpei, I thought I would give Nike+ running a spin. ![]()
