Look at your workout data without using the Nike Plus we ite

Matt is a big fan of the Nike + iPod kit, as it would seem more people who use it are. He does have on problem with it, though. There is not an easy way to share your ru ing data with others. Sure, the Nike Plus we ite graphs your progre , and you can compete with other ru ers, but you can't link to your progre from an outside source, or even di lay that info on your blog.

Knowing that A le has a fondne for storing data in XML, Matt went poking around his iPod and found that all the workout infomation is stored in iPod/iPod_Control/Device/Trainer/Workouts/Empeds/{Se or ID}, where the Se or ID is unique. Keep in mind that this folder is hidden, so if you just mount your iPod as a harddisc you won't see it, but yu can get to it using the Terminal. Matt even went so far as to whip up a widget that gets the info from the XML file and posts it to a temporary file on his we erver.
