Back in January, which feels like years ago, I blogged about my resolution to run the CMM half marathon in 2 hours or less and my wonderful discovery of the Nike+ Running app to help me get there.
Well I survived training and race day and am back to report.
This app is BOMB!
If you do not have it downloaded you need to get it ASAP, like this afternoon.
Everyday I would get a notification of what distance run I had the next day.
A nice lady [well, some days a mean lady] talks to you every mile, half way, and once you're finished to let you know your pace and overall time. And your home screen shows you your overall average pace. This comes in super handy when you're setting your distance for your run, the app will give you an estimate finish time based on your average pace. I played with this after every run in the weeks leading up to 13.1.
Race day the app didn't freeze or cut out based on my signal strength.
And I'm not one to accuse anyone of lying but according to Nike+ I actually ran 13.THREE last Saturday.
So it looks like I really did hit my goal of running 13.1 in 2 hours, right?
You can train for a 5K, 10K, half marathon, or full marathon with Nike +.
It really is the best running app out there! Our CFO, who ran the half this past weekend as well, downloaded it Friday afternoon when he found out there wouldn't be clocks on the course this year; and I didn't hear any complaints Monday morning!
So whether you're ready to get some medals on your wall or just getting ready for a bikini on the lake,
Nike + Running is your girl/guy/nice lady!
