Use Nike + iPod with your iPod or iPhone

You can use iTunes to view workout data from Nike + iPod (available on iPod nano, iPod touch 3rd generation or later, or iPhone 3GS or later, sensor sold separately). You can also use iTunes to send your workout data to nikeplus.com. Sending your workout data to nikeplus.com lets you view and analyze your complete workout history, and also ensures that the data is accessible even if you need to restore your iPod.

After you sign up for a free Nike + account, your workout data can be sent automatically to the website, where you can track your progress over time, set and monitor goals, compare your results with others, and compete with other Nike + iPod users. You can create a new account at any time at nikeplus.com. You might want more than one account if, for example, other family members share a Nike + iPod.

You can store workout data for a Nike + sensor in separate Nike + accounts, or you can assign multiple sensors to the same account. By default, each sensor is named Sensor 1, Sensor 2, and so on. You can rename them (for example, “Running,” “Cross-trainers,” and so on) so that you can easily identify sets of workout data.
