Run to your own time
Nike + iPod will be incorporating its own workout system into all of its running shoes by the end of the year.
Nike has already launched six lines of the Nike workout system runners for both men and women, priced at $80 and up. Nike + iPod kit includes a pedometer that fits inside Nike+ shoes.

The pedometer communicates wirelessly with your iPod nano so you can get audible and visual readouts of your time, speed, and distance while listening to tunes or podcast workouts. There’s a built-in pocket specifically designed for it to fit under the insole. Then you just connect the receiver to your iPod nano – cross country sports will never be the same again (!) There is even a built-in support for Nike+, so no receiver is necessary. The sensor tracks your run, then sends the data to your iPod.
