Nike+ Running Challenge For TLFers

Attack_14 · 11-01-2009, 01:33 PM

Hey y'all,

For those of you who dont have a gym membership, you know conditioning for lacrosse isn't easy. Before the season starts and school gyms open up for us, I figured I'd start a TLF Nike+ running challenge.

For those of you with all the gear (Chip, Shoes, iPod) then you can just sign up (The name of the challenge is Lacrosse Forums)

If you dont have those, the only things you really need is a Nike+ Chip
(20 bucks at the apple store or the nike store) and an ipod touch, ipod nano, or iPhone. You don't need Nike+ Ready shoes

I Repeat: Unless your current shoes are Nike+ Ready,
YOU DO NOT NEED THE SPECIAL SHOES!!!

I use my regular running shoes but i cut a hole in the insole the size of the chip. I just stick the chip into the insole when I want to track a run. This is simple to do and if you have any questions just ask me via PM.

The goes from now (Nov. 1st) until April 1st (That gives you 150 days to run)

Whoever records the most miles within that timeframe will win a prize TBD

Again, the challenge name is Lacrosse Forums

In posts below, be sure to include your NikeRunning username if it is different than your TLF Username.

My username is iRun29

LaxLlama8 · 11-03-2009, 07:48 PM

Hahahahhah man I could put in 700+ miles if I wanted.

Sorry to sound arrogant.

But hey if anybody can go over 500 I'll be super impressed.

Pre Lives.

Yeah, there are people who could put in 30 miles in 2 days to be quite honest.

And could we get a link to this thing?

timbolax · 11-04-2009, 05:09 PM

ok well I think that you should make it to lacrosse forums members only because random people joined in. If you are going to do it you should put your name on this page so we know who is actually from lacrosse forums and not just joining it to join a challenge.

Attack_14 · 11-04-2009, 05:40 PM

alright, shall I make a new one?

by the way, my name on nike+ is iRun29

timbolax · 11-04-2009, 06:15 PM

no all you have to do is make the people sign in here. make a list of each member from here who joins, if you want to join-you post your username in here/

thatswhack01 · 11-06-2009, 08:33 PM

well Llama us xc guys can't really be allowed in this since we train. I do 40 a week.

monstersobe · 11-06-2009, 10:35 PM

monstersobe being himself runner id
"monstersobe"

and i think we should do a 500mi club, since we all can easily do 3 1/3 miles a day and in a 150 days we can have the 500 mile mark. but id deffiently be down for this. anyone want to have some timed races?

killman3680 · 11-07-2009, 02:54 AM

This is slightly unfair for all the XC guys. I could fairly easily get 7-800 miles just by doing 30-40 mile weeks, which after running all season, isn't much at all. I'd do it for sure if I wore nike+ compatible shoes, and ran with an ipod.

Attack_14 · 11-07-2009, 06:25 AM

you dont need the compatible shoes, you just need the sensor chip and a little creativity.

For some reason it is not letting me log my runs... anyone else having this problem?

I domt really understand how this works. I have a itouch and compatible shoes that i didnt even know i have. Do i need to buy sometin else? theyve already gotten upwards of $300 out of me.
