Nike+ app promises to add an extra bit of spice to the Bangalore World 10K

The Bangalore World 10K fever is here! It’s time for all runners in Bangalore to put on their running shoes and start preparing for one of the best events in the calendar year.

Nike is the running partner of this event and has, as always, encompassed a variety of different channels to pump up the excitement around this event.

As always there already is the Nike+ Run Club (N+RC) in place which provides a training programme for all types of runners over the weekends to enable them to complete their first or fastest 10K come race day.

In addition to the N+RC over the weekends, there is also the < Nike + running app can be used by both android and IOSphone users. This app helps runners log their daily miles and maintain a record of their regular runs. In addition to being able to sync your favourite playlist along with the app, you also get a complete record of the details required to monitor your training including distance, speed and time.

The app helps to motivate by glorifying and gratifying you for your milestones achieved along the way. It also allows you to sync with your favourite runners and follow them. In addition, you can also sync with your friends and have on-going competitions to keep each other motivated.

In an attempt to encourage talent, Nike themselves have also launched a challenge for runners in the build-up to the 10K event to be held on 17th May 2015.

Participants in this challenge will first need to add Nike India as a friend on their Nike + app. They can then start logging their miles logged on this app, and sync it with their social media page and share the miles on Twitter using #WERUNBLR.

The participants with the most logged miles will then qualify for the priority starting position at the race.

This competition started on 1st April 2015 and ends 10th May 2015. The winners will be announced on Nike.com, Nike India’s official Twitter account and Nike+ account. They will be gratified in terms of complete kitting and a priority starting position at the start line. This means that they get to start with the VIP guests and celebrity runners just before the Corrals for the rest of the runners open up for the Bangalore World 10K.

In effect, this gives runners the opportunity to start the race without having to fight their way through the thousands of runners in front of them and gives them a true chance to fight for their Personal Best on this course.
