In a complete speed mismatch between languid journalist and A-League speedster, Treharne and Jamieson met at the Sports Arena at Olympic Park, Sydney, to do battle. To see who was quicker, the pair were both fitted an adidas miCoach Speed_Cell – billed as a brain for your boot!

Nestled in the outer sole of the 165g adiZero F50 boot, the on-board memory card stores all your measurements for up to seven hours and then wirelessly transmits the data to your tablet, PC or Mac.

If you’re slower than a pig trotting through wet cement, the miCoach website will evaluate your figures and suggest a training plan to help make you faster. If, on the other hand, your results are worth bragging about, you can share your data on social networking sites, or even compare numbers with Barcelona’s Lionel Messi.

Furthermore, your stats will power your very own avatar – which you will be able to put to the test against fellows gamers with the miCoach football video game.

The adizero F50 boots powered by miCoach cost $300, while the miCoach Speed_Cell, which came out yesterday, on its own costs $100.

So who won out of Treharne and Jamieson? You’ll just have to check out the February issue of Australian FourFourTwo magazine (yeah, because you could never guess the results already!).
