I’ve been uploading my run data first to nikeplus.com and then to runnerplus.com because i heard that Runner+ was more accurate and detailed, and i wanted to compare. I wouldn’t say it’s more detailed, but i guess it’s slightly more accurate. Here’s a comparison of the exact same run – yesterday’s – graphed on both sites:
The graphs are completely different. Here’s what i actually did: jog 90 seconds, walk 90 seconds, jog 3 minutes, walk three minutes, jog 90 seconds, walk 2 minutes, jog 3 minutes. I’m sure that’s hard to follow, but there should be three low-lying bars on the graph representing the three times i walked. Nike+ only shows two.
So i guess Runner+ wins for accuracy, although it still looks wonky to me. I also appreciate the fact that Runner+ is not a flash-based site. I HATE flash-based sites, and i’m glad to say that Nike+ is the only one i have to use on a regular basis. I think it’s also possible to do challenges on Runner+. It’s not as pretty, and you can’t make a little mini of yourself like you can on Nike+, but still i’m starting to think it may be the more preferable site to use.

I SINCERELY doubt you ONLY burned 137 calories on that “run.” In fact, if not for all the walking, I’d say no way in hell would it be that low. But, good job! Keep it up! I’m proud of you!!!
