The Honolulu Marathon is a dream for runners and attracts many participants every year. To allow runners who cannot travel to the event to enjoy the Honolulu Marathon, Adidas Japan has launched the "JAL Honolulu Marathon Virtual Run".
Runners who complete a 10K or 42.195K in a single run between December 1st and 31st using Adidas' digital personal training tool, "miCoach Pacer," or the free smartphone app "miCoach," will receive a digital completion certificate via email.
Adidas-sponsored athletes, including soccer player Hiroshi Kiyotake, baseball player Norichika Aoki, and beach volleyball player Miwa Asaoka, will also participate, adding excitement to the event.
The "miCoach" Series: Digital Personal Training Support
The "miCoach Pacer" achieves real-time coaching by measuring heart rate and stride using a heart rate monitor and slide sensor. It's a digital personal training tool that provides coaching through earphones, tailored to your goals and physical changes.
Currently, Adidas is offering a "miCoach Trial" until the end of January 2012. Members of "Adidas Running Republic," which offers free membership registration, can rent a "miCoach" for three weeks free of charge at four locations: RUBASE (Hirakawacho, Chiyoda-ku), Adidas Performance Center Harajuku, Adidas Performance Center Nagoya, and Adidas Performance Center Fukuoka. Each store has 20 units available for rental.
The "miCoach app" is compatible with iPhone and Android. By utilizing the smartphone's GPS function, it instantly detects changes in speed and provides real-time coaching tailored to the situation. Furthermore, on the official website "miCoach.com," you can view training results in graphs and maps, and manage past training data.
The "miCoach" series is a must-have item for joggers looking to run faster and with more motivation. Participate in the "JAL Honolulu Marathon Virtual Run" to enjoy the experience and achieve a sense of accomplishment, and be sure to get your completion certificate!
