In my post on Monday, I recapped my experience at Reebok Headquarters through their shift to focus on Fitness and how their apparel and involvement has changed to stay in that direction. One of the affiliations Reebok has is theirs with the Spartan Race series. I did the Spartan Race with a friend and client…
