it's cold in here. It's been between -5 to 4 degrees celcius up here in Canada. It does feel like -10 with all the wind and the light showers we get every night :o(
- Wow! I've run here with the wind chill at 2 and that was tough. Today it was about 28.

Do you have to sign up to nike plus to take part in this?
- Dancer0
Yes you have to register account. It is a great online tool.
Challenge 8 has not yet begun Kuz. When that starts just sign up

I got it at a Nike outlet. It was a couple years back so they probably have a different version of it out now.
- Khurram0
Do you have to pay money to register? And how does it measure how far you're run? Do you have to buy a pedometer? I already got one and i'm already signed up to another fitness tracking website thingmy.
thanks, would be interested in doing this..

No money to register.
You have a sensor in/on your shoe and a wristband/ipod (depends how posh you are). The sensor and wristband relationship detects every stride, you then plug it straight into your computer and a little app loads up and updates web stats.Track progress over the run, pace, distance, calories and compare to other runs and enter challenges.
There are some minus points but nothing too serious.
It is very good and really does help you to progress.

i hurt my fucking back running 3 days in a row to beat this + a challenge from my boss the same week. so now i haven't been out for over a week
- That would make me go crazy. I have to run everyday or I can't sit down and concentrate.adren

Khurram,
To be more accurate, you need the Nike+ sensor (about $30 us)
Some shoes (preferably nike+ running shoes because they have a tiny hole in the sole where the sensor is placed. Other brands can work but they can't be as accurate since the sensor has to be placed in between your shoelaces or something). Def nike+ is the way to go for shoes for this.
You will also need either a ipod nano or a nike+ sportband.

I have no idea what this is all about. I’ve seen these threads before and never gone further than looking at the picture. I gather it’s something to do with physical activity.
