Tracking Distances

Hi everyone,

I have been working really hard at the gym (both cardio and strength), but now that it is spring in Canada I am hoping to do some more walking outside.

My question is this - Does anyone know of a piece of equipment or a way of tracking the distances I am walking? I cannot get a pedometer to work on me (I don't know if I am lopsided or something, but I can't even get one to be accurate even when I walk around the house trying to calibrate it). When I go on regular streets, I get in my car and check the mileage, but that limits where I walk.

Help me, please :P

Loving me the Nike+ Ipod sensor.

If you already have the new nano(not sure if it works with older models) it will be a great tool for you.

You also DO NOT HAVE to buy the Nike+ specific sneakers. I found this out after buying them...lol.

Marware has a small pouch you buy for less than $10. The sensor kit is $29 or there abouts.

You do, however, need the Ipod.

It is very accurate. It took me several tried to calibrate it. If I go over 5 miles it will be off almost a tenth of a mile. I can live with that right now.
