Nike+: Actually getting me to enjoy running
Here’s some proof:
This is my last 5 runs, all of which were in the last week. For anyone who doesn’t know what Nike+ is, it’s both a sensor which tracks your speed/distance ran, plus a really full featured website which displays your info in a really cool way. Check out my Nike+ homepage to see what I’m talking about. I especially like how you can set up either goals for yourself, or compete with other Nike+ users using the Challenge tab.
I’ve tried to get into shape many times before, but alway found running to be way too boring. But with Nike+ pausing the music and telling me how I’m doing, it makes it a lot more fun and engaging. Another app I’m running simultaniously is “Couch to 5k” which is meant to get you from being totally out of shape to running a 5k run (which is about 3 miles) without walking within 6 weeks.
I’ll post a more indepth review of the apps I’ve been using to get in shape, plus maybe some running playlist suggestions later. It feels good to be getting into shape again!
You won’t last a week loser! aaahahahahahahaha!
jusst kidding
