I tried slowgeek.com, but didn't like their over-zealous smoothing -- it took 0.5 mph off my speeds pretty consistently. I also tried runnerplus.com. Though they have a less/more detail slider, it didn't scratch my itch, so, being a geek, I rolled my own in R -- http://blog.balinsbooks.com/2009/06/05/new-r-script-plot-nike-runs/. Take a look and let me know what you think. John Thanks for the post. I tried slowgeek.com, but didn’t like their over-zealous smoothing — it took 0.5 mph off my speeds pretty consistently.

I have a run that's stored in the iPod but refuses to get uploaded to Nike's site. Anyway, that's not why I'm posting a reply here. I'm here to share with you that I found a nice alternative site to upload Nike+ data, and it's got the elements of a community that you mentioned in this post. Go to runnerplus.com. It's still in beta but looks very very promising. hi Matt, stumbled upon your blog when I was trying to figure out how to force upload my nano’s Nike+ data to the nikplus site.

There is a program that converts a widget into an application. If the widget output is nice (graphically speaking) then at least you could use grab to take a screen shot of that window and end up with 'nice' graphics of the run data.

It stands for milliseconds (or so). So 435715/1000/60 seconds = 7 Minutes, 15.71 seconds. I analyzed my 5k times and it calculated perfectly. Looking forward to the widget. My excel file is a little clunky, but works fine until I get a copy of your little program. Scratch my last comment. It stands for milliseconds (or so).

How is the duration (for the km and mile splits) calculated? Your first km duration was 435715. What does that translate to? Same question with the pace. Thanks. Great job Matt,
