IMPI Elite Race #4 has piqued the interest of accomplished Muay Thai fighter, Kickboxer, stuntman and personal trainer, Ashley Robinson.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI enjoy challenging myself.\u00a0 The Fedhealth IMPI Elite Race is another way to test my abilities as an athlete,\u201d confesses Robinson.\u00a0 \u201cCompeting against SA\u2019s top obstacle course racers is amazing.\u00a0 I really enjoy exchanging tips after the event.\u00a0 The Wiesenhof Wildlife Park is a spectacular venue.\u00a0 It\u2019s scenic, while the obstacles are challenging.\u00a0 You get to enjoy the fresh air while racing and facing tough obstacles.\u00a0 Due to my shoulder injury, I tend to struggle with the \u2018grip\u2019 obstacles the most.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Fedhealth IMPI Elite Race #1 held earlier this year taught me to run more often and keep my endurance on a peak level,\u201d continues Robinson.\u00a0 \u201cSince then I\u2019ve added more hill training to my training schedule as well as more fight training.\u00a0 I\u2019ve also invited a few of my friends and clients to join in on the fun.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve programmed their training schedules with more movement training.\u00a0 My goal on the day will be to keep up with the fast runners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Robinson secured the second spot on the podium at the Fedhealth IMPI Elite Race #4 in 2017 behind Anele Bans.<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>EVENT
