PRESS RELEASE: Over 1 million miles — equivalent to circling the world more than 40 times — have been logged by Nike+ runners in just 10 weeks since Nike and Apple changed running forever with the retail launch of the Nike + iPod experience.

Almost 8,000 people logged runs yesterday on nikeplus.com—including an almost eight-mile run in New York, two and a half miles in Boston, five miles in Boulder, two miles in Miami, six miles in Nashville, four miles in Phoenix, three miles in Seattle and two miles in Peoria. Top times so far: 27 minutes and 43 seconds for a 10k run, and 13 minutes, 47 seconds for a 5k. The farthest total distance: more than 600 miles. Read the rest of this entry »

Nike+iPod Apparel

Payed a good chunk of change for that iPod nano, huh? Keep it protected when running and hook it up with the new Nike+iPod Sport Kit.

“Specially designed Nike apparel, including jackets, tops, shorts and an iPod nano armband, bring together the Nike+iPod experience with waterproof pockets that accommodate iPod nano and are designed to make it easy to operate while staying tuned to your music during an active workout.” Press Release

The Nike armband is light and therefore should be very comfortable. The band is thicker, offering more protection and helps keep it on your arm better. In my opinion, it’s better to run with than the Apple’s product. The price is a little high, ($40.00) but worth it.
