Hey all, how can I get involved? Will I need Nike trainers or something?
I'm training for my first triathlon in just over a month, desperately need to get some more running/fitness in!
Any info on how to join you guys would be great :-)
- No nike shoes needed, you need ipod nano/ iphone/ nike wristband and nike+kitMeeklo
- will an iPhone work?Not_Just_Another

NJA: you just need to get the Nike + sensor - you don't HAVE to have nike trainers. The sensor can be adapted for different shoes.
Click the link at the top - join the Nike site. The sensor automatically syncs your runs through your ipod.
- thanks meg! will definitely check it out. How long is each challenge?Not_Just_Another
- it varies... this one is a month long, just the most miles logged. Sometimes its singles v married. This time is just individualmegE

my knee is properly fucked, think im throwing in the towel, need to go to physio or something, could get over 3 km yesterday without whincing in pain...
anyone else got knee issues? i dunno if its my shoes or what, i warm up properly before runs, and about 1-2km in i get this sharp excrutiating pain down the outside of my left knee. can hardly walk yesterday and today.
meh.

sensors being bought as we speak, should be able to join you guys in a few days!

whereRI, it sounds like it's your IT band:
http://www.rice.edu/~jenky/sport…i would def. get a new pair of shoes and see if that helps out. make sure you go to a professional running shop and not some place like champ sports or some shit. they should be able to help you pick a shoe that will best suit you.

I would recommend a physio whereRI.
A good physio will have you sorted in no time.
Well worth the cost if you can find a good one.

How accurate is the nike+ system? I was given an ipod touch (nike+ enabled) and am thinking of buying the sensor, but a friend suggested a Polar Watch (with GPS Sensor)

its pretty accurate, but that's not the best perk of the system, there is TONS of mega-exact professional grade running tracking systems out there, but what nike+ has is way more users and an amazing community system that allows us to generate these monthly challenges, so we can all "run together" at different times of the day, on different countries, etc.Makes running more enjoyable, helps motivate you, and friends, etc.

I just logged 10k this morning, will upload my run soon, it's been like 8 months since the last time I run this much

It's all the same shit.
Just make sure you replace them every 6 months or so

those lunaracer's look dope. i pick them up just to feel how light they are every damn time i go to the nike store! i always want to buy them...but i feel like it would be a mistake. light-yes. supportive-not so much. with that said, for a guy with your build and height evil1, i would say something more like the nike triax or 180's maybe? i have been buying the pegassus (my last few pairs anyway). they are light (compared to any of the airmax in my opinion) and they are super-breathable. they are also one of the only shoes that don't come in striclty a super-white, reflective, hot pink accent color, look at my brand-new-fucking-running-shoes kind of running shoe.
and by the way, stop running twice a fucking day you bastard! :D
just kidding. you are hauling ass this challenge. keep on keepin' on.
- The support is actually pretty good on the lunarracer. The flywire really does work.evil1
- doesnotexist0

really nice 10 k run tonight as it got dark. some cars, cows, and an old woman shouting running related things at me. so i ran up to her and kicked her in the nuts.
