The Running Center Announces Availability of the Nike+ SportBand
The amazing new product from Nike allows runners to track key stats about their workout and then log it in the NikePlus website -- and The Running Center is among the first to carry the new product.
Carlsbad, CA (PRWEB) May 1, 2008 -- The Running Center announced today that they are among the first retail stores to carry the all new NikePlus SportBand. The SportBand is a device that you wear on your wrist that gathers information from the NikePlus Sensor placed in your shoe. It then gives you live stats about your run, including distance, time, pace and calories burned.
Even more exciting than the information that you receive during your run, the SportBand plugs into the USB port of your computer after your workout and automatically logs your run data to the NikePlus website, along with all of the other training tools available on NikePlus. This is a phenomenal new training tool that can help everyone, from the beginner to the marathon runner.
The SportBand kit sells for $59 and includes the wrist band, the SportBand unit and the NikePlus Sensor that goes in your shoe. The first units are expected to arrive the first week in May and pre-orders are being accepted now.
The Running Center carries a wide variety of Nike Running Shoes that have the special compartment built in for the sensor, including some hard to find styles like the Hayward, Air Zoom Hot Shot and the Air Equalon.
"The Running Center is excited to be among the first retailers nationwide to have the SportBand from Nike available to our customers" says Nancy Comer, owner of the Running Centers. "The SportBand is a phenomenal new technology that gives runners of all levels new tools to make their running experience better".
