Athletes: Allan Rodriguez, Joanna Lewis, Mandy Magnuson, Willie Thomas

Athletes can increase stride length, frequency, power and acceleration with the proper training equipment. All athletes, regardless if they are training for sprints or endurance, can benefit from overspeed and speed training.

The Ultimate Fitness Mini Challenges

August 2006 brought the first mini challenge to Tampa and the event has become a monthly affair. “This provides the athlete a chance to compete on the exact obstacle course they would run in our major events,” states Tri-Fitness president Al Rosen. Additional events were held in September, October, February, March and April leading up to the Fall and Spring Challenges.
