Adidas MiCoach, next round, new chances

Adidas is already the best sports brand when it comes to supplying information and providing runners with the news gadgets and accessories. And now they are going to take the market by storm again, with their Adidas Micoach. This software application provides runners with information and the latest news. Since Nike came with Nike Plus and Asics with MyAsics, Adidas is going to try it again after the project failed two years ago. Then it was a collaboration with Samsung and now they are going to do it all by their self. But it’s not the hardware which is impressive; it’s the website, which could be seen as a platform for runners to exchange information.

I already peaked and the website is really awesome for runners to expand their knowledge. The MiCoach is active in Holland from this week on and is already very popular as you can see in the video. The website is divided in three interesting directions. First is instant coaching application, which wants you to fill in information about yourself and generates a personalized training advice. Secondly, the runners can view some new gear which they can purchase as well. Thirdly, you can start with MiCoach, this means you have to fill in information about how your training is going and what you consider as a problem. This application provides also a couple of schedules and charts which are very handy when you want to optimize your results as a runner.


Check it out!

Personally, it is a good idea, especially for amateurs whom get stuck at one point of their training without having the information of solving these problems. So, runners among us, please take a look at this hot new item. I guarantee it will help you!

Twitter, Facebook, Hyves....World Cup?

The World Cup in South Africa is coming closer and closer, it’s just a matter of days and we can sit back and enjoy the greatest event in football. And so are the questions about the World Cup and the potential winners are rising and a lot of tweets and Facebook posts have this subject. Even the football players are posting a lot.

So the football players are twittering and facebooking their way. A famous incident is the one with Dutch player Gregory van der Wiel whom was sick for a friendly match, but posted a photo of him self a concert of rapper Lil Wayne in Amsterdam on Twitter. He apologized and erased his account. It’s just a matter of time other players start posting things what will be misunderstood by the readers. The Spanish coach already noticed it and told the players to quit with the hype.




So I personally think it has no harm to twitter once a week or facebook with you friends when you’re a famous player, but overdoing it would be wrong and sometimes famous people don’t know when enough is enough. So for the players I understand it’s mandatory to focuss on the game, but other famous people are welcome to post as much as nonsense about the World Cup, the question is whether there are enough people whom think it’s interesting or significant. I don’t think so, but hey, who am I? Right?
