2nd Run With Nike+iPod (at 11:58AM)




According to Nike+iPod...
Distance: 1.42 mi (although after workout it said 1.41 mi)
Time: 12:45 min
Pace: 8:55 min/mi
Calories: 139

According to my Cell Phone and Lap Estimates...
6 Laps in Lane 6... 2874 yds
Time: 12:52 min

I recalibrated everything correctly before the run, too.

MY THEORY:
See... to end your Nike+ workout, you have to hit "Menu", then scroll down and then hit "End Workout". For the first run, I hit "Menu" and then it took a couple seconds to scroll down and hit "End Workout." So, I thought that the workout truly ended when you hit "End Workout". But what I think is that it truly ends when you hit "Menu", cuz this time around several seconds before I stopped running, I hit "Menu" (while I was still running) to get ready things ready, and then hit "End Workout" and my cell phone at the same time. There's a huge 7 second difference between the two times.

I think that Nike+ isn't totally accurate, but I don't think that they'd short change me by THAT much. I also don't think that the time functions would be off on either the iPod or the cell phone or both. Also, it's possible that the measurement of the lane comes from the outer part of the lane (today, I was running on the middle part most of the time and then every lap had to step out of my lane for a sec to avoid this thing just sitting in the lane.

I'll figure out how accurate this thing really is on the next run.
