Visualizing a Year’s Worth of Nike+ Runs – information aesthetics

Infosthetics had a cool post written by the founder of visualizingdata.com on how people are visualizing running data from Nike+ sensors.

I have been using a FitBit for a while now and have even played with their API since I am interested in collecting and visualizing my personal data. But the best part of the Nike+ sensors is definitely the GPS – allowing you to map your run and track your project in space and time. Very cool. Can’t wait to see more of this!
