Help Where Can I Find The Coach Program In The New Website?

As of June 2012

Question: I am training for a marathon and I am relying heavily on the Nike+ Coach marathon coach program. I can't find it anymore in the newly revamped Nike running website anymore! Help!

Answer From Nike+ Faqs: Please note there will be a short amount of time after the new site launches where you will not be able to see your current Challenges. Your data will not be lost. We are still tracking every run and keeping the leader boards intact, so keep getting those runs in!


Nike+ Coach
We're revamping Nike+ Coach to be smarter, more dynamic and more motivational. Our new Coach program will launch in late 2012.

When the new Nike+ Running site launches your current Coach program will no longer be available. If you are currently in a Nike+ Coach program, make sure you import your current program into your calendar (via an ics file) or download a pdf of the program before May 31, 2012.

  1. Very annoying that they have left us without this function. COuldn't they have waited until all functionality was available before relaunch. Very poor customer service

  4. Agreed - Coach was the best part of the site. What was Nike thinking? Really dislike the new site.

  6. I'm just glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. I was looking for an hour trying to find the Nike Coach. I rely on it as well. Nice job NIKE!

  7. It's now November and this feature still is not there.

    Adidas' micoach has the virtual coach but it's a wee-bit buggy; you can't even change your long run day!

  9. Yea , the coach program was why I used Nike +. They should have waited to re-launch. The new site sucks. :(

  10. December seems like it would count as late 2012 . . . Where's our coach? Why has he abandoned us?
    (Don't tell me to download a calendar from facebook)

  11. Right! I don't even upload my workouts anymore. Not coming back until coach returns!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Nike just announced on it's Facebook page that Coach will not be returning, quote: "We have transitioned to using Nike Running Race Coach."
    Unbelievable that they'd tie us on for 7+ months telling us to be patient for the improved Coach and all they come up with is some pdf's on facebook.

  13. and still no Coach option in Nike+ for 2013?

    The new program has lots of tech and glitz and links to Nike's store to be sure, but why would Nike destroy one of the best features of Nike running? Because they are pushing a sales mantra based around Nike Fuel Bands and the cheap and intellectually irritating reward system built on it.... All designed to extract MORE dollars from MORE people!
    Most of the "Runners" I know have clearly migrated away from Nike and this CRAP sales scheme...
    Nike running is dead!

  15. reading the comment on the 23rd of December about coach not being continued I am saddened. however maybe there is still hope. on my dashboard I am still seeing one of the cycle buttons call attention to training plans. unfortunately when I click it (as well as about 80% of the other buttons I've come across, I get a multi language equivalent to a 404 error....

    I was waiting for this feature to come back too...

  16. Nike! what the heck - we want the COACH back!

  17. Everybody, please post or at least *like* my post (What happened to the old Coach program? - PLEASE bring it back!!!) on https://www.facebook.com/nikerunning/posts/10151341237177976?notif_t=like
    They are listening :-)

    1. I've been checking Nike's facebook page nearly every day since July hoping for an announcement about Coach and Challenges and I must've seen hundreds of users complain about this. If Nike really were listening they would've done something already. In fact, I don't think anything makes it past the wall thrown up by their support staff. I don't remember seeing any bug report, site issue, feature request or any sort of feedback that they promise to 'pass along to the team' or 'are looking into' actually dealt with.
