Nike+ Shoe Pod

I think we have finally figured out the Nike+ Shoe Pod.

It works like a pedometer. Basically, it counts every step you take (when you place your foot on the ground) and converts it to miles. So 1 mile supposedly equals 2,000 steps. What the Shoe pod doesn't do is take into account the height of the person or the inseam of the person.

When using GPS - we are using approximate satellite measured distance. When using the shoe pod, we are using our own foot steps to mark distance. This is why my miles have gotten so high. For every 2,000 steps I take, the shoe pod tracks it as a mile.

The only difference really is about 0.25 miles and my pace looks like I am a beast.

Of course the other difference could also be the fact that I have the shoe pod on top of my shoe, in a ziploc bag, held in place by my shoelaces.

Either way, I now realize that my actual foot step mile is way shorter than the satellite measured mile. Interesting - no?
