The Running Specialty Group, owned by The Finish Line, Inc., is partnering with Pear Sports to launch an RSG training channel, hosted within the Pear Sports fitness and training app.
The RSG channel will consist of downloadable content, results tracking tools and fitness programs with interactive and audio coaching in real-time. With Pear’s Mobile Training Kit, runners will have access to heart rate performance, calorie consumption, route maps, pace performance and historical results.
The partnership will also involve RSG parent company, Finish Line, making a strategic investment in Pear Sports.
Bill Kirkendall, Running Specialty Group president, said, “We strive to keep moving forward by reimagining the way our customers interact with the retail store experience, focusing on the intersection between technology and fitness and how this can directly impact each individual engaged in an active lifestyle.”
