Running Tracker – Nike+iPod software

Did you know that it is possible to backup your Running Tracker database ?

Imagine: you bought your Nike+iPod kit 6 months ago. You run twice a week. After each workout, you import the file in Running Tracker and write some comments… but one day, you need to change your computer !

Backup your Running Tracker database and you won’t have any problem.

It’s actually quite easy:

• On Windows, you just need to copy the folder “.runningtracker” from C:\Documents and settings\<your username>:

  

• On Linux, copy the folder “.runningtracker” from your home folder:

  

The Running Tracker’s blog has been updated to WordPress 2.6.2
A lot of security problems have been fixed.

Running Tracker 0.4.1 has been released: Start it now !

What’s new in Running Tracker 0.4.1 ?

• Support of the new Nike+ file format (version 5)
• Improvement of the way Running Tracker connects to the NikePlus website to import workouts

I have analyzed the new format (version 5) of the XML files generated by the Nike+iPod device and it looks like only few things have changed.

The function that permits to import the workouts directly from the NikePlus website needs to be slightly modified.

Hopefully, I will be able to release a new version in the coming days. I will keep you posted.

The format of the XML files generated by the Nike+iPod kit has changed.

Following features may not work anymore:

• Import workouts from the NikePlus website
• Import workouts from the iPod Nano

I am currently working on a new version of Running Tracker that will handle this new format.
