adidas miCoach training service today announced a partnership with
MixRadio; creators of the world's simplest personalised music streaming
service. The partnership brings together the leading technology in
music and fitness, adding a new dimension to the existing miCoach SMART
RUN watch. Users of the SMART RUN not only continue to benefit from
adidas' expertise in digital coaching but also the extensive catalogue
and expert curation of MixRadio, bringing a personal audio experience to
their training.
The new partnership means that miCoach users
can enjoy MixRadio with the latest software update for the adidas SMART
RUN. Integration is completely seamless giving user's access to a music
catalogue of over 34 million songs with just a tap of the screen. Mixes
are downloaded for off-line use over the SMART RUN's in-built wifi
making it easier than ever to get the perfect soundtrack for every run.
For a limited time, SMART RUN users signing up to MixRadio will get a
six month premium, ad free, service for no cost.
The extensive
team of global and local music experts at MixRadio create thousands of
exclusive mixes from the global catalogue of over 34 million songs. The
mixes are updated every week with the latest new releases, so it is not
only a great way to discover new music and rediscover old favourites,
but also enables users to find the perfect music mix to keep focused and
motivated throughout even the toughest of workouts.
Dave
Castell, Head of Brand Partnerships at MixRadio said "The expansion in
to wearables is very significant for MixRadio, showing our simplicity
and level of personalization can translate well across different
platforms. We believe the combination of adidas digital training
expertise and the extensive catalogue of music and personal approach
that MixRadio provides, will add another level to an already intuitive
product and reinforce the value of music in training. We know that
fitness and music go hand in hand, a mind-set can change just by
listening to music that can push and motivate. Combining music with the
advanced fitness technology offered by adidas allows the partnership to
deliver a new level of personalisation to training."
The miCoach
SMART RUN enables runners to not only track their runs using GPS and
monitor their heart rate off their wrist, but they can now also listen
to their favourite music from MixRadio and get real-time coaching – all
in a single yet simple, colour touch screen running watch.
Continuing to deliver a customized personal fitness experience with the
miCoach SMART RUN, all users will be able to benefit from the MixRadio
features with just an OTA software update.
Simon Drabble,
Director – adidas Digital Sports said "We are very excited about this
latest development to the existing innovation in the SMART RUN. The
miCoach training system, at its core is about unlocking human potential
by making smart training easy and accessible. Adidas constantly strive
to push boundaries to ensure we deliver the latest in technology and
innovation, to make training more efficient and enjoyable. The
partnership with MixRadio adds another level to the Bluetooth wireless
audio and training experience and builds on the unique training platform
that miCoach provides."
MixRadio is now available to SMART RUN users through an over-the-air software update.
