As has happened on RW, I thought I'd take the liberty of laying down the gauntlet and issuing a challenge to all runnersforum.co.uk members who have Nike+. I know at least three of us do.

Is anyone interested in such a challenge? I was thinking first to 100km would work well. Any thoughts?

Would love to but........
1.I haven't worn Nike shoes for 10 years since they morphed into a fashion brand with Shocks and all that barefoot bollocks.
2.I own an ipod but never wear it for running as I like to know what is going on around me! I think it's irresponsible to say the least that Nike are encouraging people to wear ipods whilst running, especially women. Major safety issues!

I'll take that as a no from Steepler then (although reason 2 is easily remedied if you use the ipod and sensor without the earphones).

I am already in the RW challenge, but if it is possible to do two together, yes I will give it a go. 100k will be fine, but don't expect me to do it to quick. Unlike you guys I don't do great distance runs. As a 15 stone ex. boxer it's not easy.

Divide # of km by 1.6

Try running in a pair of frees and you'll see what I mean!

Agreed, Nike have come up with some shocking (no pun intended) creations. Apparently runners need to defy gravity to be good now.

 

[steepler]

I've been trying to defy gravity for years!
Still not there!

Would do but for the Nike issue.....don't wear on principle!

 

[Nick B]

Well for anyone who's interested, PM me your e-mail address no later than the 16th September, and I'll issue the challenge via the nike website.

Haha, I didn't like to point it out but I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed it.
