miFirst Run with Adidas miCoach

I took the Adidas miCoach for a test run.  After receiving it last week, I immediately downloaded a training program from the miCoach website.  I chose the De-Stress program.  It was just a set of 10 easy runs within the blue zone.  The blue zone is the easiest of...

In 2008, Adidas introduced miCoach.  It is a real-time training system that is design to work like a personal coach.  Instead of just reading the data like time, distance, and pace, miCoach has an audio feature that gives you feedback on your workout.  However, the first design was bundled...
