Abstract In this paper we present a digital coach for runners that provides feedback in an intuitive way, without interrupting the athletes running flow. This is done by giving vibration pulses in combination with visual led feedback. The digital coach is built into a wristband with GPS module, vibration motor and several LEDs. The digital coach is given a personality model according to the DISC coaching model. From the GPS data collected the digital coach should identify which style gives the best results for the athlete.
