Rock ’n’ run.

Nike + iPod Sensor Hero

Nike + iPod receiver

The receiver fits securely into the Dock connector on the bottom of your iPod nano. Wirelessly connected to the sensor in your Nike+ shoe, it receives up-to-the-second information as you run.

Voice feedback

As you run, iPod nano tells you your time, distance, pace, and calories burned via voice feedback that adjusts music volume as it plays. In addition to progress reports, voice feedback congratulates you when you’ve reached a personal best — your fastest pace, longest distance and time, or most calories burned. Voice feedback occurs automatically, according to predetermined intervals that vary by workout type. You can also hear voice feedback at any time by clicking the center button.

Primary information

Depending on the type of workout you choose from the Nike + iPod menu, a counter displays your time, distance, or calories burned. If you’re running a time-based workout, for example, your elapsed time appears in this position, so you get at-a-glance feedback on your primary workout goal.

Secondary information

In addition to the primary information, your nano displays several pieces of secondary information. Toward the top, you'll see the song currently playing. At the bottom, you’ll see additional information — including time, distance, and pace — that varies according to your choice of workout.

Nike + iPod menu

With a Nike + iPod receiver attached to your iPod nano, you can access the Nike + iPod menu and choose your workouts. Try the open-ended Basic Workout or select a workout with time, distance, or calorie goals. Pick a playlist, shuffle songs, or select Nike-created Sport Music content. You can also program a PowerSong to play on the run with one click. Your iPod nano stores and displays up to 1,000 individual workouts, so you can view your data anytime.

Timed Workout

PowerSong

From the Nike + iPod menu, you can set a PowerSong. When you want to hear this song during your workout, press and hold the center button for instant sonic motivation. When your PowerSong is over, the previous playlist resumes.
