| Here is a basic introduction to how Nike+ running works and how it's been useful in my project {mostly keeping track of and organizing progress} and basic features.  |
| With the running app you can set up a program for a set number of weeks and it comes up with a standardized program based on your level (intermediate) and goal distance. Unfortunately, I quickly learned you can't adjust things like run frequency. Although I began with the half marathon Passion Project program, I don't exactly follow the schedule because I can't run five days a week. But it does give me a good idea of how much I ought to be progressing each month as well as certain goals to reach. |
 |
| To set up a run, you can either just start with a basic run or choose options like time run, distance run, or record run. |
 |
| This would be an example of setting a distance run. (You can select the distance you want and it'll report back your progress during your run.) |
 |
| This is one of the weekly progress screens shown in the program. It displays the set amount of miles per week (run 5 days for a total of 16mi) and lets you know how many miles you ran as well as pace and farthest distance. |
 |
| This is a sample of after you finish your run, taken from a run done in March. It gives you the option to select where (terrain wise) you have run and then tells you the basic details, including time, average pace, calories burned and your route distance. |
 |
| The app also notifies me when I should be running and about what distance I should be running for. As is seen, on a 10 mile week then not every run is for 10 miles. There is the "peak" run, and then smaller runs to maintain fitness. Usually I get daily notifications for this which can be helpful! |
