MEET JOSH- YOUR NEW CMF RUN COACH 🔥

We’re stoked to officially welcome Josh to the CMF Running coaching team- coach # 8 in our growing team ❤️🙏

Sport has always been a massive part of Josh’s life. His background includes competing in an elite rugby academy, being exposed to high level coaching and training mindsets, captaining teams and travelling on six international rugby tours before later finding his love for running through a Movember challenge with some mates!

Starting his racing journey like many of us- knocking off half and full marathons, he started tapping into that earlier learned athlete training mindset and applying it to his running. He then became part of Head Coach Chris’ Chris Lucas training protocol where his running and coaching foundations have been further developed these past 2 years. In his own running Josh is going from strength to strength, in the past year its been half marathon PB’s in the low 1:20’s, an impressive 4 hrs 40 at Tarawera Ultra-Trail 50K earlier this year, followed by a home run performance at Hawkes Bay Marathon running a 2:56:00 to snag his first sub 3 marathon. 🔥

Josh is one of the run leader legends behind 445 Run Club 445WLG in Wellington and is passionate about the community and connection that running can create. He also loves getting out in the big sky in the mountains, whether its a hike/camp mission, or smoking out self supported point to point run in the hills with his trail running kit on 🏃‍♂️🏔️

As a coach, Josh is all about getting to know YOU, your goals and your life, then working collaboratively with you to build training that’s going to give you the best training adaptations and competitive edge when it comes time to toe the line! Whether you’re chasing your first half marathon, a marathon PB or your next ultra, Josh wants to help you become a more confident, capable and self-sufficient athlete, while making the training journey enjoyable and sustainable along the way.

We’re super excited to have Josh joining the CMF team and helping more runners and athletes LEVEL UP! 🚀

We have 3 spots currently available with Coach Josh, 1 has already been snagged 👀

We’re on the look out for an Auckland based Run Coach to join our CMF TEAM of coaches. 🔥🔥

Maybe you’re out there coaching on your own trying to do everything yourself but are weighed down with trying to market yourself, stabbing in the dark with processes to follow, feeling isolated with your 1 person show. 😬

Maybe you are part of our wider community of friends and members and you’re ready to take that next step, give back to this great sport, and be rewarded financially for doing so. ⁉️

We have developed over the years our partnership model where CMF does the heavy lifting of all the back end stuff and the coaches get to coach! It meets coaches where they are at and rewards growth and experience as you develop. 👊

Our runners are predominantly trail and ultra athletes that have been running for a while (with or without prior coaching), have got themselves to a certain stage and had enough of following generic advice, plans, and ChatGPT guff- and are now ready to level up and be more competitive with themselves and their peers!

“Where suffering is the prize!” 🏔️🔥

New on the CMF BLOG — this week Coach Hannah shares about her recent overall win at Northburn 100K 🏆

Some epic training and fuelling insights, as well as breaking down how she executed such a brilliant race which gave her the outcome of overall 1st place win!🥇

💬“The other area I knew I could control was nutrition and hydration. As soon as I saw the weather forecast (hot, no cloud cover, no wind) I knew hydration would be critical. The stony ground at Northburn radiates heat, and that was going to amplify everything.

A few weeks earlier I’d acquired a sodium analyser, and had been monitoring my sweat rate. What I found changed everything”
