Wasn't the 2009 route the one with more time in Bournville? I ran it in 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the routes were all identical.

Either way, I'm glad to hear the hill is being swapped out for smaller ones (it's Brum, you'll never really get away from hills).

The problem with Nike+ is that it relies on the shoepod to be accurately calibrated more or less before each run. This is a major problem especially if you complete different types of workouts at different speeds, so your feet may strike the ground more or less often, affecting the outcome.

I ran a half marathon a few years ago with Nike+ and it thought I'd run an extra mile despite me keeping a very good racing line to avoid increasing the distance.

No probs. I've had to use it a few times, once because it recorded a 3 minute mile for me!

Delete the run and contact @NikeSupport via Twitter with the details you have (distance actually run, time it took, the device you used etc) and they'll manually add the run for you. You won't have any of the GPS info unfortunately but this way, you don't lose out on mileage if you like the achievements on there for example.

Ice Tags are another option. Just a simple plastic tag with your info on it and if you're a Parkrunner, you can also get your barcode printed on the back as well.
