adidas miCoach.com – intelligent website that is central to the miCoach personal coaching service. miCoach users can select goal-based training plans for various sports. The website allows tracking progress over time, comparing individual statistics and workouts over time as well as sharing results via the online community.

adidas miCoach Pacer – a small, lightweight device that delivers real-time audible coaching as you exercise via headphones or combined with your own MP3 player or smartphone. 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 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 or the miCoach app.

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 too 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.
