To use the Nike Run Club (NRC) app for indoor runs, you simply need to adjust a specific setting within the app to activate indoor tracking mode. This allows the app to accurately record your activity when GPS is unavailable, such as when you're on a treadmill or an indoor track.
Why Track Your Indoor Runs with NRC?
The NRC App is designed to be your perfect running partner, supporting you across all types of running environments. Utilizing the indoor tracking feature ensures that your workouts are logged accurately, even when you're not outdoors and without a GPS signal.
You should use indoor tracking when:
- You are running on a treadmill.
- You are running on an indoor track.
By selecting this setting, the app optimizes its tracking by primarily relying on your device's internal sensors (like accelerometers) for measuring distance and pace, rather than satellite-based GPS.
Step-by-Step Guide to Activating Indoor Tracking
Switching your NRC app to indoor mode is a quick and straightforward process:
- Open the NRC App: Launch the Nike Run Club app on your smartphone.
- Navigate to the Run Tab: Ensure you are on the Run tab, which is the primary screen for initiating and tracking your runs.
- Access Settings: Locate and tap the gear icon (settings icon), typically found at the top of the Run tab. This icon provides access to various run preferences and settings.
- Select Indoor/Outdoor: Within the settings menu that appears, tap “Indoor/Outdoor”. Tapping this option will toggle your app to indoor tracking mode, preparing it for your treadmill or indoor track workout.
Once this setting is engaged, the app will be optimized to track your run using internal device data. This ensures your miles and pace are recorded effectively without the need for a GPS signal. You can easily switch back to outdoor mode by following the same steps when you're ready for an outdoor run.
