  Non-Abelian gauge theories with fermions transforming in the adjoint
representation of the gauge group (AdjQCD) are a fundamental ingredient of many
models that describe the physics beyond the Standard Model. Two relevant
examples are N=1 Supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory and Minimal Walking
Technicolor, which are gauge theories coupled to one adjoint Majorana and two
adjoint Dirac fermions, respectively. While confinement is a property of N=1
SYM, Minimal Walking Technicolor is expected to be infrared conformal. We study
the propagators of ghost and gluon fields in the Landau gauge to compute the
running coupling in the MiniMom scheme. We analyze several different ensembles
of lattice Monte Carlo simulations for the SU(2) adjoint QCD with Nf=1/2, 1,
3/2, and 2 Dirac fermions. We show how the running of the coupling changes as
the number of interacting fermions is increased towards the conformal window.
