Adidas has launched the miCoach Pacer and Zone running training tools. miCoach is an interactive training service developed to motivate and enable runners to become better and reach their training goals.
The miCoach Pacer is a small, lightweight device that delivers real-time audible coaching as you exercise via headphones or combined with an 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 is an easy to read colour-code LED display on wristband device that provides accurate, real-time coaching making it easy for you to train at the right intensity with the help of a heart rate monitor.
“miCoach makes it easy for anyone at any level to get personal coaching. The instant progress reports help you get the most out of your run and achieve your personal goal,” says Bernd Wahler, Chief Marketing Officer of adidas Sport Performance. “The audible coaching feature of the miCoach Pacer provides a new dimension to any workout experience allowing users of any level to discover their true potential. This product is really about offering our consumers a personal way to train.”
