Instructions and FAQ's
Creating the file to upload into Nike+ is the beginning of the process of adding your missing run data to Nike+. On this page you can find out how to get the downloaded file into the Nike+ website and answer any other questions you might have along the way.
First, a little explanation about how Nike+ and your iPod interact. When you go running with your iPod Nano and Nike+ Sport Kit, the iPod logs all of your run data into a file on the iPod in a hidden folder. The file is an open file format called XML, and can be opened with any text editor on a Mac or Windows, such as TextEdit or Notepad. As such it’s totally possible to edit your run data without this website, I have just tried to simplify the process a bit.
What this site does
The XML file that contains the data has to be structured in a certain way in order for the Nike+ website to read it and for your run to show on that system. This site simplifies the creation of the file by wrapping the structure expected by the nike+ website around the data you input in the form, and performing some calculations on that data to work out the pace, time elapsed, that kind of thing. I definitely do not save any data that you input into the site. It then gives you the file back for you to save to your hard drive, and then place in the hidden directory on your iPod - which is necessary for iTunes to then upload the file into Nike+.
What do I with the file that the site emailed me?
