adidas today announced an update to its miCoach Train and Run app for
Windows Phone. The update brings a fresh look and feel, introduces a new
voice pack from German National Tennis Champion, Andrea Petkovic, as
well as integrating Sensorcore SDK for stride rate measurement.
After
little over a year the miCoach Windows Phone app has been downloaded
more than a million times and is one of the most popular fitness apps on
the Windows store. The app provides real-time intensity based coaching
for runners and fitness enthusiasts by using GPS to monitor your pace,
and voice narration to prompt you to increase or decrease effort
according to your training plan.
On compatible Lumia handsets the app
will also connect to Bluetooth Smart sensors like the adidas heart rate
monitor and Speed_Cell, with these additional sensors you can take your
training indoors and across a variety of cardio equipment such as:
Steppers, cross trainers, rowers and stationary bikes. Whatever your
goal, using your workout intensity to follow an interval based training
plan will deliver the results you want much faster. The app also
provides strength and flexibility coaching with over 400 guided
movements.
By integrating Sensorcore SDK for lumia handsets, the
app can use the handsets built-in sensors to monitor your stride rate as
you run. Targeting a higher stride rate is a great way to avoid over
striding and will improve your technique and efficiency as well as
reduce the risk of injury from excessive heel striking.
The app update is available now for download from the Windows Phone Store.
