Attention Nike+ Glastonbury goers!

[eoinmullan]

Hey,

I've set up a Nike+ challenge for people who are going to Glastonbury. You can run for your favourite band who are playing Glastonbury, a band you hope will be added to the line up, or just your favourite band. Just reply to this thread and I'll add your band if it's not already on the list. Here's the link...

Good luck in the marathon themuel!

Well it's for people who use Nike+ (Nike+ is something you use with your ipod when you're jogging to record how far you've ran. Then you upload your miles to their website where they're recorded. You can find out all about it at nikeplus.com).

I've set up a challenge that lasts for the 8 weeks prior to Glastonbury. If you join the challenge any miles you run will be added to the total for your chosen band. The challenge is to see which band logs the most miles.

Yeh I use Nike+ but with a running band not my ipod due to having a classic not a nano. But yeh I'll sign up!Is there a Leonard Cohen one? Or David Bowie or Paul Simon?!

[eoinmullan]

Everyone's welcome to join and it works for walking too but you'll need to be set up for nike+, i.e. you need an ipod nano, the nike+ running kit and an account. If you go to http://nikeplus.nike.com/nikeplus/ and click on "What is Nike+" it should explain it all. (I don't work for nike lol, I just want people to join my challenge!)

themuel, none of those bands are there at the minute but let me know which you'd like and I'll add it.

[ampersand]

is this not the thing that comes with the ipod touch?

[eoinmullan]

Yep I think you're right, it works with the ipod touch too.

[ampersand]

Yep I think you're right, it works with the ipod touch too.

[themuel]

[eoinmullan]

Done and done.

I want to go jogging but I'm always a bit scared of looking like an idiot! I am very unfit and can't run far so I'm just scared that I will look stupid. But if I ever work up the courage, this sounds fun!!!

[eoinmullan]

I can highly recommend taking it up. You'll soon just enjoy running and realise no one pays any heed to how you run.

[amfy]

Laura Babs - with the Babs in your name are you in Birmingham?

If so - go to Sutton Park - great running, and so many people do it that no-one bats an eye!

I've also found that with my ipod on i don't hear any rude remarks or laughing!!!!

[eoinmullan]

Bump,

This challenge starts today, see the original post for details
