Has anyone got one of these?
Can you fix them to a non nike trainer?

I got one,with some arm bands now you get a little 'pouch' you put the chip in and it goes through your laces.You can get the little pouches on there own off ebay i think.
Nike + is great but you need to calibrate it to make it pretty accurate.

I think I just saw the pouch you are talking about.
Its a toss up between that and a watch, the Nike is winning at the moment because it tracks distance.

Yep, like BRIGHT ON Q said, you can get Nike+ pouches on ebay, amazon etc for about a fiver which work a treat.
Samsung Adidas MiCoach is also pretty good.

If you have an ipod nano all nike+ will cost you is 20 quid from jjb.a watch is around £100 i think.
Don't bother with pouches or special shoes - simply make a small slit in the tongue of the shoe, slid in the sensor and then seal it with a small safety pin to stop in falling out.
250k's so far of trouble free running. The only downside is the battery life of the sensor. Mine only lasted 4 months which seems to be about average. You can buy replacements for £10 but posting bumps it up to £15 so your looking at paying that every few months.
Its a great piece of kit, really adds to your running and I reckon its worth paying for the replacement sensors. Perhaps they'll bring out one with an improved battery life?

Thats the think, I only have a normal Ipod so would have to get a nano and the nike bit - so its going to be a 100 either way

Do you turn the sensor off after running? Nike claim the sensor has a lifespan of 4 years...I've had mine a good 8 months now and it's still going strong.

Nike have just released the sportband, so you can use Nike+ without a nano..Nike+ SportBand

Yeah-but it dosnt play music!
No, but I'm going to turn off my new sensor each time. I looked on the Nike+ forum and there were some big differences in battery life reported. 8 months is good going...
