Nike+ Dashboard

Brilliantly easy, motivational

This is a amazing system. I love it. Very motivational and a great sense you're part of a global community.

While there are plenty of features they keep removing some very important ones and haven't developed others. They keep removing the World Leaderboard where you can see how you stackup against the whole community, your country, your age bracket and so on. It is a very cool feature and they really should keep it up. The ability to compare your run against your best has been removed and so on... Also you are not able to easily compare your last five 10k's for example.

While there are a whole heap of ways for the platform to keep improving there is more than enough to keep you motivated and excited about working out. Lots of stats, challenges and events.

From an interface perspective there have been requests for years that they move away from flash to a more ajax type interface. Flash just isn't fast, parts look great but ajax would make far more sense!! A kind of google analytics slash daytum type mashup would be perfect...

Overall despite the fact I feel it could be improved a lot and benifit from a heart rate type monitor type device I couldn't workout without it now. It is a must have for me. To the point I won't run/jog without it. If I forget my sensor I'll just lift weights or play bball instead haha

Go sync your runs!

I love my Nike+ kit for my iPod, it has allowed me to actually incorporate technology into something that I used find so mundane! Keep on running!

Free service for users of the NIke+ system. It has a lot of great features such as goals and challenges. The challenges, especially, are quite motivating.
