Motion Traxx Launches Kickstarter to Keep Runners on Pace

New app combines GPS technology with streaming music for the 1st time.

 

New York, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/02/2014 -- MOTION TRAXX, the #1 Running Music Podcast on iTunes, announces today its Kickstarter campaign to fund a revolutionary, new smartphone app that will combine GPS Technology with a new Streaming Music service to ensure runners stay on their target pace. For the first time ever, the app will use GPS and motion sensing technology to determine if a runner has fallen off pace, and then, using BPM shifting technology, will adjust the speed of the music to help the runner get back on track. All the runner has to do is listen and follow the beat of the music.

Tom Holland, Chief Fitness Officer at MOTION TRAXX, 21-time Iron Man finisher and running coach, says "One of the most important aspects of running well is staying at the right pace. Run too fast and you may get injured. Run too slow and you won't do your best. The problem is that running at the right pace is very hard to do on your own. This new app will keep runners motivated and moving at their optimal pace using the power of music."

Deekron 'The Fitness DJ', Founder of MOTION TRAXX and NYC Marathon Finisher, is passionate about motivating people to get fit through music. "I launched our running music podcast in 2008," he says, "because I wanted to promote a healthier world by motivating people to exercise through fun and energizing music. This new app adds a technology component to our podcast and will help people enjoy running, hit their target pace, and become better runners."

The MOTION TRAXX app will include a new Streaming Music service with specially produced music for runners. Using the same ActionSync™ process for producing music that has kept its podcast at the top of the charts, this new streaming service from MOTION TRAXX will now include mainstream music from popular artists like Katy Perry, Beyonce, Avici, David Guetta & Pitbull, in addition to music from top-notch indie labels. Unlike Pandora radio stations or Spotify playlists, ActionSync™ produced music from Motion Traxx maintains the proper pace, power and flow to keep runners energized and on pace throughout their runs.

In the MOTION TRAXX app, Tom Holland will provide voice-over coaching, guidance, and tips to help runners with their form, their mindset and their nutrition. Runners will also have access to his beginner, intermediate and advanced race training programs.

Supporters of the MOTION TRAXX Kickstarter campaign will be rewarded with discounted access to the app (up to 50% off a 1 year subscription) when it launches, access to the Beta program, and their "name in lights" - listed as a supporter in the app when it launches.

The MOTION TRAXX Kickstarter campaign is now live. For more info, visit MOTION TRAXX - Running Music with GPS to Keep You On Pace
