Coach Program Problems on Nike+
The site is great, but I can't get "Coach" programs to work. It won't load anything. I see that others have had issues with the Coach section, so I am hoping that it is being addressed and will be back online soon. Otherwise, I love the improvements to Nike+.

Inappropriate?I started my new training program just last week. Now it's a new week and I don't know what to do now. This is frustrating.,
I’m frustrated

Having the same problem :( -
Inappropriate?I started my coach program, and now I can't open/view it and I don't know what to do... :(

Inappropriate?It stopped working for me yesterday. All I see is a spinning circle of infinity. FYI my partner's Coach loads just fine, so is it account specific or what?
I’m annoyed

Does not seem to be a specific account, computing platform, or browser. Something sucks on Nike's end with their ill-designed website. To me, this is what I bout the Sportband+ for and it is not even a good beta at this point. Hope all us users start to put pressure on Nike. I want a new Sportband the works and new shoes for being such a patient beta tester. -
Inappropriate?I have been having trouble viewing previous weeks data, so now i cant see how i did. i can see my current weeks data but not previous.
I’m Confused and Annoyed

Inappropriate?I have the same problem with coach. I don't know the plan for the next run...
I’m frustrated

I have heard that Coach had an illness in the family and had to take a week off without telling anybody. In the mean time I am watching Oprah with a bag of Doritos and a can of Coke. -
Inappropriate?Same here - I'm tired of companies putting together something half-way and then just labeling it we "beta" - It should at least function, not like this system that has a different problem every day of the week.
I’m pissed
-
Inappropriate?Don't worry guys, even if the Coach is lost, when it gets back you simply have to restart it by placing the date of your scheduled initial training back in the date you actually started. You can use the same trick to see just what was scheduled for the following days, even if it won't save it until the glitch is rectified.
No data is lost, it will still show your current workouts in relation to the scheduled ones. When it gets back, everything will be fine.
I’m confident

That is so not acceptable...
The old site vs new site discrepancy is still ridiculous. A workaround like that is a laughable substitute for a real fix.
Get on it Nike. Lose the flash, and build a proper functional website. -
Not really a fix is it?
Given the Coach is a major selling point of the whole program and the fact that the problem's been reported since the beginning of August. That's so not acceptable.
Especially as it works when you set it as a goal.
So what's not working - the data you save? Or is it something more basic and fundamental? -
And I can interpolate my run time based on the movement of the sun too...how absurd. I bought something to do what it says it can do. -
Guys, I'm not working on Nike's support department. I just said to you what you can do UNTIL the moment they fix it. Give me a break, I'm trying to help here. -
I have gone in AGAIN and AGAIN, each day, to access my COACH, since it will not load. I heard you needed to clean your cache. DONE, nope, clean your history, DONE.. nope.. disable some firewalls, DONE.. NOPE
I have reloaded yet another 10k training program (inserted my original start date-which was easy) and went to all the trouble to write down each date/workout. It was easier on the old nike website as you could print out your training program. How come this was missed with the new website? FUNCTIONALITY people.. EASE OF USE! FIX THE PROBLEMS!
Grrrrrrrr -
Inappropriate?Agreed - this isn't actually a fix. It might be a temporary work around, but considering the site seems to be getting more and more problems (seriously, where did the kilometer support go? It was on the new site six weeks ago.) having a several month work around to access a 12 week program is asking a little much.
Having worked in software for several years, it looks like they put their money behind branding the site, but didn't back that up with meaningful scale and environment (OS and browser version) testing. I'm surprised by the steps back in functionality, which suggests they're migrating from one architecture to another. Flash just isn't that hard to fix...
And if the problem is coming from the architecture change, that's fine - but some messages on the site about what they're doing would have reduced the impact on their customers...

Inappropriate?I too am having this problem with coach. I LOVE this aspect of the website, but feel really let down now that it's not working. I also don't think that the previous solution presented by Kensai regarding entering the original start date will work. I tried that today and it will only let you enter a training program start day of today or sometime in the future. I really hope that they get this back up and running soon!
I’m frustrated and annoyed

Are you sure? I just tried entering a date in September and it accepted it. -
Inappropriate?Can we hand this problem over to the apple people? Because clearly nike can't cut it...apple never fails me.

Inappropriate?Why offer a coach program if
1) the schedule disappears everytime I go back to it (This isn't even running at the basic level).
2) you don't offer a playlist to coincide with the schedule? If the Walk to Run coach program tells me to walk 5 min, then run 1 min, and repeat, why didn't Nike+ set up a playlist with a coach or athlete to coach me through the different actions? You already have Lance Armstrong and other athletes coaching us through other runs.
FIX THIS!!!!!

Inappropriate?i haven't been able to view coach for days...this is frustrating!
I’m annoyed and p-o'd
-
Inappropriate?I just finished my 6th week and when I went to upload my big run of the week, it acted like I'd never started the program. The coach program has made me stay on top of my running and add distance that I normally wouldn't have, am definitely hoping it gets back on track.
-
Inappropriate?I've found that if you click of coach from one of the tabs along the bottom of the home screen you get the endless spinning circle doom. And if you click on it on the left, it happily asks me "what do you want to do" (walk, 5k, 10k etc) completely ignoring the fact I already have a program set up.
Being down for a day might have been acceptable, but weeks? No.
Any kind of acknowledgment of the problem from Nike would be good.
A due to my utter laziness I need someone to tell me to run even if it is just my computer... :D
I’m frustrated
-
Inappropriate?This is totally unacceptable! The least you can do is post the Coach schedules so we can manually print them out. On a side note, the Nike+ forum is a complete joke. The structure of it makes no sense and half of the links are broken. When you advertise such a large community using NIke+ wouldn't it make sense to actually keep it functional?
-
Inappropriate?It would be nice if some of the coach sessions weren't in a foreign language. Walk-to-run, 1k and 5k in English, then I get two others in another language!
I’m vexed
-
Inappropriate?My Coach is now logging all my runs one day ahead of schedule, while everything else has it current.
I’m frustrated
