Music is your motivation. It pushes you to run faster, train harder and go further than you would on your own. For the first time, Nike and Apple have teamed up to create a running system called Nike Plus that allows you to track your movements while listening to your favorite beats.

According to coolhunter.com, a shoe insert “tracks the usual data like time and distance, and includes a voice over, much like the nav system in your car, which communicates the details. The training and inspiration mixes offer advice as well. Nike’s lined up Lance Armstrong and Paula Radcliffe (who holds the women’s marathon record) among others, to share their favorite music and provide their inspiration while you train.”

The first Nike shoe to support Nike Plus is the Moire (pictured). With about a $100 price tag, and a release date set for this month, the Moire is sure to be flying off shelves this summer. Apple adds in some cool options through iTunes, with a new Nike Sport Music section complete with workout mixes, athlete inspirations, podcasts. Push yourself.
