They also have an online community that is pretty active. When the Nike+ first came out I used it but never liked the shoe sensor. It always seemed to escape from its little pouch; I sent it flying across the gym at my office, on more than one occasion, embarrassing myself in the process.Steffaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14044716054089453236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-81861642761255996472011-06-28T21:38:53.411-04:002011-06-28T21:38:53.411-04:00Thanks Kelly!

Just found a great app I have been using ...HI Amy,<br /><br />Just found a great app I have been using on my phone. It is called A HIIT App which stands for High Intensity Interval Training. You basically create your own interval workouts. As you approach a transition to the next interval, it beeps with 2 seconds left and then beeps and vibrates when you are to change. You can label each interval so in case you forget what you are suppose to do-walk/run/run fast/walk fast etc. I just started using it and I LOVE IT. You also put in how many rounds you want to do and it will tell you your total workout time before you start. My husband found the app for me by google interval training.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11240987378863281549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-31471880693880761982011-06-27T19:46:05.133-04:002011-06-27T19:46:05.133-04:00Love me some Nike+ :-)Love me some Nike+ :-)Andreahhttp://www.seedisneychickrun.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-82827866281915206382011-06-25T21:19:12.334-04:002011-06-25T21:19:12.334-04:00I have Nike+ on my iphone and I've tried some ...I have Nike+ on my iphone and I've tried some watches, but I never really liked any of them. Nike+ works well enough for me, although I have also downloaded runkeeper and might try that soon enough... I also like how Nike+ connected to the Nike website as well as Facebook. You can set goals and what not there and as you log your runs it updates how you're doing on your goals.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01911112281653988862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-2130360970934391012011-06-24T13:22:20.921-04:002011-06-24T13:22:20.921-04:00There are so many different models out there for t...There are so many different models out there for the GPS watches, so you'd have to do a little research on which model has the features you need for your runs, but I'm pretty sure there are models out there that can handle time intervals. I do distance-based intervals so as long as I can see the distance on the display, I'm good! I think Garmins can start around $199 and I think I've seen them all the way up to $500...maybe more. For earbuds, I can't use the ones that come with iPods or iPhone's either. I found a pair of Skull Candy ones that came with 3 different sizes of interchangeable "buds" and the smallest one works perfectly for me. My BF uses earbuds with that memory foam on the end so you can just smush it down, insert and it will expand to fit your ear. I think his are Sony but I'm not 100% sure about that. I went through so many pair of earbuds before I could finally find one that fit me...I have really small ears too! It's such a pain!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-18674619782961438412011-06-23T23:34:09.460-04:002011-06-23T23:34:09.460-04:00Hi Amy!

I don't like to pay for apps either, and I started using Runkeeper to earn the Foursquare badges, and just kept using it to track my time and my mileage.<br /><br />I've looked at some of the fancy watches, but I want to be super sure before I invest in one, so I'll be watching this thread. :)<br /><br />My ear buds have the little hook that goes over the ear, like a hearing aid, lol. I think they're Skull Candy, and they were very inexpensive. There are nicer ones; I think Sennheiser makes some, and they're pretty reputable as an audio brand. <br /><br />Hope this helps!Rachelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-21481150544869899162011-06-23T21:05:27.338-04:002011-06-23T21:05:27.338-04:00I have a Garmin Forerunner 201.

I just bought a pair at Wal-Mart that go over the ears, but my ears are too small on top to keep them on. The ones I had been using wrap around the back of your head and it looks like I'm going to have to get a new pair of those. Stupid weirdly shaped ears...Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311487376653590470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-32126010851940769122011-06-23T20:29:52.321-04:002011-06-23T20:29:52.321-04:00Thanks for the great responses!

The beep or vibrate would be so much easier! Also, how much do these things cost? <br /><br />Another question: Has anyone found ear buds that stay in when you run? I have small ears I guess because the ones that came with my iPhone are to big and barely stay in when I walk, forget running!Amy Smithhttp://pumpkintoprincess.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-89091698948170410002011-06-23T11:41:13.366-04:002011-06-23T11:41:13.366-04:00I wear a GPS watch...I have the Garmin 110 (the gr...I wear a GPS watch...I have the Garmin 110 (the grey and pink one of course!). It's a fairly basic model, but allows me to see the info that's important to me while running and then I can get all the detailed stats when I download the info to my computer. It's super easy to use. I only wish it would vibrate instead of beep at the intervals that I set...although I think I read that one of Garmin's newest models does have a vibrate option now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-31078726532169410512011-06-23T07:21:22.272-04:002011-06-23T07:21:22.272-04:00I use GPS Sport app for my Android.

I like it but I frequently lose my GPS signal where I live. <br /><br />I was thinking about getting some sort of stopwatch/timer because I see a few training programs that have you running for 90 seconds then walking for 60 seconds. I am sure a good old stop watch will do but I always get sucked in by the fancy gadgets made for runners.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11240987378863281549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-90944340336647041622011-06-22T22:45:18.795-04:002011-06-22T22:45:18.795-04:00I use the Nike Plus on my iPod, but I don't ru...I use the Nike Plus on my iPod, but I don't run in Nike anymore so the sensor stays in my shoe wallet and seems to work just fine...=)Elise Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04515769757257923525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5093644418410785887.post-58552745425673611522011-06-22T21:08:05.886-04:002011-06-22T21:08:05.886-04:00I use Runtastic on my Blackberry.I use Runtastic on my Blackberry.Lisa Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00991970595012543323noreply@blogger.com
