Hi
I got your parser to work but it didn’t show splits or anything for runs recorded on an Ipod Touch. Only date, distance, duration, and calories.

Am I doing something wrong?

oh, also, if there’re already records on your iPod nano, you don’t even need to do data mining to find the xml files, they’re already there, most likely in the /synched folder. you do need to turn on the hidden files to see them though. i used houdini for that.

Thanks Palo, that’s really good info. Hopefully we’ll be able to add an ‘update run’ feature to the app I’m creating, for users with Nike + iPod & iPhone 3GS.

adding data back to nike+ is really simple. all you need is your iPod with paired sensor to your account. The next steps is simple. the XML file you get from data mining process (link http://nikerunning.nike.com/nikeplus/v1/services/app/get_run.jsp?id=1076405728&userID=417671841) you have to put on your iPod. Easily save this file from Safari (File/Save as…) and save it like XML (or then change the extension from .html to .xml).

In Finder enable Show Invisible Items (or Show Hidden Files) – use google how to do it. Next open iPod from Finder, and go to folder Ipod_Control/Device/Trainer/Workouts/Empeds/”folder with ID of your sensor (is only one)”/latest/

and put your XML file into it.

Then unplug your iPod, wait a few seconds and then plug it again. The run will be synced to nikerunning.com!

Enjoy

Marina, thanks, we’ll be adding the second part soon. We’ve not uncovered any part of the API that allows edits to be fed back into the Nike+ system, that would be pretty cool though. If you are using an iPod (ie not a Sportband), it is possible to amend the data before it is submitted to NikeRunning, but as far as I know, once it’s been uploaded, it can’t be changed.

We’ll keep on digging.

Hi, this is pretty cool. did you ever figure out if its possible to feed the data back to Nike+. For example, if it loaded the wrong number of miles, and i’d want to change it?

Thank you!
