How about the fact that Nike has taken down the original Nike+ website as of 12/8/09? The new NikeRunning.com website is a huge disappointment. The functionality is horrible, it’s incredibly non-intuitive, and we’ve lost some functions completely from the original site. It’s now incorporated with Nike.com so they’re focused on selling you Nike products, not helping you track your training and performance. A huge disservice. I think a Garmin Forerunner and Garmin’s awesome website is in my near future…

I know the original post was from a while ago, but I have not been able to access the site for 2-3 weeks (end of Feb, into March)… pretty frustrating…

Thanks for addressing this. I have been calling Nike and Apple since 1/02/07 when I first experienced the problem and no one copped to an answer. Either I was told to shut down and restart or try again later.

I am a new user and you’re right… I have begun directing people away from his debacle. Buy a $10 pedometer and listen to your iPod for now.

I do wish Nike hadn’t chosen to use a Flash interface for their website. The user experience is painfully slow (even on a fast connection!).

As a web developer myself, I can’t understand the reasoning behind such an unweildy and ponderous interface.

I’m persevering for the time being, but also uploading my workout info to another site to prevent any data loss.

This explains why my Nike+ PHP script wasn’t working for a while. Seems to be OK now, but the servers weren’t authentication anything during the outage.
