I realized, finally, and to my disappointment, that the calibration was incorrect on my Nike+. I never did anything after I got it. I just started walking and running with it.
The disappointment if from the fact that I have recorded some great running paces with this uncalibrated sensor. I knew I needed to quit “cheating” and calibrate the thing.
Off to the gym on my “off” day yesterday to calibrate my Nike+. I was on the treadmill at the gym and attempted to calibrate my Nike+ sensor in both the walking and running modes.
I was surprised with the default calibration setting was to walk for ¼ mile, but that is what I did. I then repeated it in the running mode at another ¼ mile. But since it was a rest day I figured I would go for it.
Calibration was set. Since I was on the treadmill already – I went with a full mile walking and playing with the grade. I set my Nike+ for a 1-mile. Problem – I walked well OVER a mile according to the treadmill before my Nike+ told me I had done so.
Today I did my run for 35 minutes – again on the treadmill. The treadmill said I went 3.67 miles, the Nike+: 3.30miles.
Time to go back to the drawing board…
Today’s accomplishments: New DVD The Firm Body Sculpting System 2 Firm Abs – using 3 pound weighs and 12 pound body bar; calibrated Nike+ (first) information: 3.30 miles, 35.09 mins 10.38 min/mile (most accurate = time); information from treadmill: 3.67 miles.
