Receiving Congraulations from Lance
Feb 21st, 2007 by the wrw
Upon finishing my morning run today at the hotel, I was very fortunate to receive some praise from Lance Armstrong. Lance was impressed that I had just posted my best time for the mile, and he gave me a nice audible pat on the back.
Lance and other Nike sponsored pro athletes provide motivational audio ques via the Nike + iPod Sport Kit Nano accessory. It’s a great tool for running that tracks for each run your speed and distance, and then allows you to upload them to the Nike + website. Even better it’s pretty cheap, currently listed at $29 through Amazon.
The Nike + iPod Sport system allows you to designate a playlist to use for your workout, or select whatever you currently listening to on your iPod. iTunes even sells specific workout specific playlists that include coaching. Perfect for the early mornings in the drab hotel gym when praise from a seven time Tour de France winner can really help start your day off right.
