There was a time when modern technology and running were unhappy bedfellows!

Many tired off the stresses of modern living would take to the open road with nothing more than their trainers, shorts and singlets.

Now though Nike and Apple have joined forces to come up with a clever device which could make your running experience more enjoyable and certainly more rewarding.

The Nike iPod sports kit allows runners to track distance, time, pace and calories burned.

The device is especially ideal for those who take running seriously and is especially useful for those who are in training for bigger races.

So how does it work? Well you simply fit the iPod sport kit sensor into your training show during your work out and let the device do the rest while you pound the road.

And heres the sales pitch from the manufacturers " In a country suffering from an obesity epidemic, there is finally an iPod accessory that has lasting benefits to overall health. The fact that the software can help coordinate your work out makes this the hottest iPod peripheral -- bar none."
