is it for runners? Anyone have any experience with the nano and running?

I have had no problems with the nano and running, but I'mnot running 10-20 miles! At 3-5 miles, it has no problems. I bought the (yeah, overpriced...) armband and it works well. I do often carry the nano around all day in my work as a carpenter, and it hasn't had problems there, either. I bought the nano because it is a flash memory player and as such has no moving parts, unlike the larger ipods that have little hard drives in them. Theoretically, with no moving parts it should be pretty immune to shaking, bouncing, etc. I couldn't use mine on a 10 mile run, as the battery life has a max of 14 hours.... Best of luck, DW

Hello there, I haven't used a minimalist running shoe. However, I use the Nike Free 5.0 and it is a bit bulky, but not a deal breaker. It takes time to break in so it'll be somewhat of a pain in the early stages. My suggestion would be to break it in, wear it as much as you can before using it in the running shoe you plan on wearing. Wear it in the office, around the house, shopping etc. and it should be good to go. Hope this helps!

As long as your Nano has a standard speaker or headphone jack. I use it for my iPad and it works great. I just plug it in and set my iPad on it and I'm good to go.

Classic ipods have a hard drive which could theoretically, be damaged by running. Apple doesn't want to promote people running with their classics, so they haven't allowed the Nike plus system to work with one. I know...it sucks. I have a classic and I want this system badly, so I'm probably going to suck it up and buy an 8GB nano. It'll be less bulky to run with anyway.

Well, I believe the Alluvial Joules sensor system for runners may be interesting for many of you. It is still under development and when finished will deliver much more then the Nike shoe sensor does...http://www.alluvialjoules.com

Other than the shape, I don't believe there is any functional difference. The corded micro-pedi may be easier to handle based on its design. But given the additional coast and the fact you only use it once every week or two, the Nano is fine. I must say I am very pleased with my Nano.

Yeah it is, for everyday normal it's great! I wouldn't try running with it though. The case is the main feature of this item.

It depends. If you want a running oriented GPS watch, the Forerunner 220 is better. On the contrary, if you want it for hiking or mountaineering, the Fenix is the way to go.

Yes, you can track your distance, pace, BPM while running! I'm really happy with mine.

This watch is not a multi-sport watch. It is specifically designed for runners/running. I looked at the multi-sport watches prior to buying this one and they were much more expensive.

I have a 2nd generation Nano, a 3rd generation Nano Shuffle and now a 6th generation Nano. I mostly use them for exercise and the 3rd generation is absolutely the best of all. It's the easiest to use because the controls are on the headphones so you can change songs with a press of the button. Because it's so compact, I can clip it to my clothing so I barely realize I have it on. The 2nd generation with the trackwheel can be a pain to exercise with. I haven't used the 6th generation Nano enough to really comment yet.

It is best used for walking but I did jog just to see what it can do. The machine was just fine. As far as a full blown run I have no idea. I am not the running kind of gal. ; )

I've had the single and double version of the city mini. I personally found the single fine to jog with... A little heavy but good on flat paved surfaces. I found the double to be more of a convenient, light, fast walking stroller. I run a good amount and used both through toddler age for my kids. If you are looking to jog (10 min miles or slower) I feel like this is fine. I don't think it is the best for running. If you are looking to go faster, best RUNNING stroller is the B.O.B

I have never ran with this but have gone on plenty of walks. The shocks are okay but I would probably suggest a jogger stroller. It's a little tough to steer through grass and rocks walking. I cannot imagine at a jog or run pace.

dont know, I use it (or try to) on a nano. I tried it while running to avoid wires, doesnt work well, bad connection.

If the iPod Nano has bluetooth capability, then definitely yes. I still use the headset everyday. It really is great! Works well even when I'm sweating a lot.

Hi, If you have an Ipod Nano you can try the very cheap, in comparison with GPS, Nike+ Sportkit. Once you calibrate it, it is very accurate. All my runs (same route) about 8km only vary on +/- 100m.Hope that helps a little bit.
