Virtual Running Partner  with Real-Time Audible Coaching

The miCoach interactive training system guides you to speed up or slow down by tracking heart rate, pace, distance and stride rate.miCoach is an interactive training service developed to motivate, inspire and enable runners to become better and reach their training goals, whatever they may be. The miCoach offering features two separate products:

• The miCoach Pacer – a small, lightweight device that delivers real-time audible coaching as you exercise via headphones or combined with your own MP3 player. During your run, the miCoach Pacer verbally coaches you (i.e. speed up to green zone, slow down to blue zone, etc.) to ensure that you are staying within your targeted heart rate zone and  keep you running at the right personal level.
• The miCoach Zone – an easy to read colour-code LED display on a wristband device provides accurate, real-time coaching making it easy for you to train at the right intensity with the help of a heart rate monitor.

The new miCoach interactive training platform completes the adidas sports performance promise of engaging and enabling all athletes to achieve their Impossible.

At micoach.com you can create personalised training plans, set goals and proactively monitor and manage your progress over time. The miCoach platform includes six documented training plans, ranging from those who want to run faster and improve a personal time, to those who want to lose weight. You can also create your own personalised training plan on micoach.com to make you a better runner.

On micoach.com you receive a training program that’s tailored to your heart rate zones and will help you achieve your fitness goals more efficiently than traditional exercise regimens. miCoach listens to your heart to determine your personal training zone ranges, each represented by a distinct colour for easy-to-understand and effective training – blue, green, yellow and red. miCoach helps runners set goals and then reach them by monitoring their heart rate and telling them when to slow down or speed up to meet their personal goal .

adidas miCoach Pacer – Real-time, audible coaching tells you to speed up or slow down based on its interaction between the adidas Heart Rate Monitor and adidas Stride Sensor.

adidas miCoach Zone – Easy to read colour-code display provides accurate, real-time coaching on your wrist.  Used in conjunction with the adidas Heart Rate Monitor.

adidas miCoach Heart Rate Monitor - provides accurate feedback about your workout performance.  It relays your workout information to the miCoach Pacer or miCoach Zone which then ensures you’re not pushing yourself too hard or little on your run.

adidas miCoach Stride Sensor - clips directly to shoe laces or inside adidas adiStar and Supernova shoe models featuring a cavity under the sockliner of the left shoe. The Stride Sensor provides detailed data about your unique stride rate, distance and pace and relays that information back to the miCoach Pacer device.
