    snags, make sure you calibrate the nike+ every few runs...I tend to map my run then calibrate it at the end cos it seems to gain a bit of ground every run.

    You can also change the settings in the nike settings to miles (sorry if you have already twigged that one but it took me ages....it then does the history of your runs into miles too)
    Thanks hun - I will do. Is it worth doing a shorter run to calibrate it? On mapmyrun.com, my run today is about half a km shorter, but there are a lot of places where you have to run part way up side streets to be able to cross the road etc, so it's probably about right.

    If I measure a mile or two as accurately as I can, and then do that run and calibrate it, will that help?

    Yep - should do and then just do it every five runs or so....

    Spudly - are you worrying.....

    Actually, now you mention it, I've been worrying about it since I was 16. It might be a relief to find out one way or t'other ehh :confused:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
