TEAM Unlimited, owner and producer of the XTERRA World Tour, has announced an alliance with PRS Fit to produce XTERRA Couch to Trail training programs.
“Jeffrey Kline, SheriAnne Little, and XTERRA age group world champion Mimi Stockton of PRS Fit have a wealth of experience as both racers and coaches, and we think they’ll do a great job introducing our sport to newcomers around the world,” said Dave Nicholas, XTERRA’s Managing Director.
In addition to building custom training programs designed for first-timers, the team at PRS Fit will share free, bi-monthly training tips with the XTERRA Tribe focusing on everything from swim safety to one-minute video tips designed just for XTERRA athletes.
“We are proud to be partnering with XTERRA on the Couch to XTERRA training series,” said SheriAnne Little, Head Coach at PRS Fit. “XTERRA triathlon and off-road racing is taking off globally, and it’s exciting to be able share our experience and be part of this tremendous growth.”
The XTERRA Couch to Trail tips will rotate with the Middaugh Coaching Corner column, presented by Suunto, providing training and racing information for both novice, intermediate and elite competitors every week. And, just like the Middaugh brothers – Josiah and Yaro – PRS Fit will offer one-on-one online XTERRA coaching services and in-person XTERRA Camps.
“Thrilled to be an official XTERRA coach, and looking forward to a long-term relationship with the Tribe,” said Jeffrey Kline at PRS Fit, who has been coaching runners and triathletes for 20 years.
PRS Fit will host its XTERRA training plans on the DailyFitBook.com, offering athletes a place to receive, log, and share their workouts through various social media channels. The team will also work with Suunto to educate XTERRA athletes about their GPS watches and the mapping, training, and community features available at Movescount.com.
“XTERRA has allowed me to push myself to new limits and experience mud, sweat and lots of tears,” said Mimi Stockton, a 44-year-old mother of three from Michigan who won her 4th XTERRA World Title in Maui last October. “It has taken me to some of the most beautiful places in the world and I’m having so much fun. I want to share this sport with everybody, and perpetuate XTERRA’s Live More lifestyle.”
