A true help for joggers.

[Sven 1]

So one old, quite big, jogging in the offseason thread got deleted due the downtime and the older backup, i will start a new one.

I dont know if "Nike+" (www.nikeplus.com) is that popular in North America, but here in Europe, it is. There are TV commercials and it seems to be quite popular. I think the system is neat, but i personally dont own an iPod Nano so i cant try it. But well, thats not the reason why i wanted to start this thread.

There is a song, called 45:33 (which symbolizes the length as well) by LCD Soundsystem, which was made to help runners/joggers to keep in a rhythm and keep motivated. At first, i thought that something like that would not be possible, but i tried it myself and its indeed a litte help. Maybe its a placebo-effect, but as long it works and it sounds kinda catchy - who cares?

The song is a bit pricey at $9.99 via iTunes, but worth the money. Maybe you can get it from a friend or .. somewhere ele?!

Give it a try.

Here is a review on the internet, which is a good one:

Cool idea. I've been doing this thing lately where I'll jump on the stationary bike while the playoff games are on TV. When they drop the puck I start pedaling, when the period ends I stop. I increase the resistance and tempo at the five minute marks.

I don't know what I'm going to do when the season ends. :lol:

i've downloaded a few long, 30+ min, techno/dance songs that i have on my mp3 player for at the gym, the fast music and loud bass keeps me moving while working out, maybe ill look around for this one too

This is perfect! I have recently started jogging regurally and i was lookin for good techno songs to put on my mp3 plyer. Thanks.

the nike+ thing isn't extremely popular over here but it also isn't being pushed hard. Most people have no idea what nike+ is.

not a bad song at all. if someone is interested to hear it, PM me.

Nice to hear that you guys like it as well. I sometimes listen to it while surfing the internet or so.

My dad has Nike+ and loves it. Unfortunately the only make it for the Nano though.

I cant find it on iTunes though? I see LCD Soundsystem stuff, and then there is Nike stuff, but only a Crystal Method Nike song.

Try going to a different itunes store for some place in Europe maybe. The variety of songs they carry is usually quite different.

If anybody uses torrents, I found it on ISOhunt.com

We use cadence when we run in the military . . .

"I WANNA BE AN AIR FORCE RANGER,

(echos of the same)

LIVE THE LIFE OF SEX AND DANGER"

You get the point

Yeah, I know, but that doesn't bother me any. I have 39.9 days worth of music in my itunes folder, all from torrents.

I just listened to most of it... pretty different. I think it's a little slow to get started, but once it gets rollin' it's pretty sweet. I'm gonna give it a go tomorrow, see if i can finish my 10k before it's over :D
