I’ve been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks. I hit a running milestone on September 15th. I broke the 1000 mile barrier. My first run with Nike+ was December 27, 2006 (I got the running kit for a Christmas gift) so it took me a while to get there.
One thing that sucks is curious to me is that when I broke 500 miles Nike+ offered to sell me a 500 mile achievement t-shirt. At the time I thought I would hold out and get one when I shattered 1000. Unfortunately though, that milestone came and went and I got no offer. Does anyone know if there are Nike+ t-shirts for 1000 miles?
Incidentally I think the Nike+ interface is getting a little dated. It takes forever too long to scroll back to old runs and I’d like to be able to do some more in depth analysis of my run data. Help me out Nike.
The thing that annoyed me was that the message from Nike said something along the lines of “Congratulations, for hitting the 500 mile milestone, we’ll ship you this shirt for free”. I thought a free T was an excellent way to reward their most loyal customers, but when I clicked the link, I realized the emphasis was on the word SHIP. i.e, we still had to pay $30+ for the t-shirt but shippping was free. I still bought it anyway, but my XL turned out to be the largest item of clothing I’ve ever bought so never wore it. Instead I busted my balls to break the 1000 mile barrier in under 12 months of Nike+ useage (which I achieved with 5 days to spare), but like you, no new congrats message as all the 1000 mile shirts had gone. Gutted.
