Yes we do. Typically however, the runners who come to CMF for 1:1 Run Coaching have been running for a little while, have built some experience on their own and have reached the point where they're ready to stop second guessing their training and to take their running to the next level.

No. You don't need to be an experienced or fast runner to work with CMF. We do Coach runners into being more experienced and faster runners though! 

We coach runners and athletes who want to level up—whether that means chasing a PB in the Marathon, taking on a new Ultra Marathon distance, going far in a Backyard Ultra, finding out what you’re truly capable of, or simply regaining consistency and confidence when building back from injury.

Running is our bread and butter. We primarily coach marathoners, trail runners, ultra runners and mountain runners, with coaches across the team bringing different areas of niche expertise.

We also have coaches who work with cyclists, triathletes and HYROX athletes. Often, this is an individual whose primary sport is running but who wants to take on an event in another discipline for a season, or weave another discipline into their wider training.

Not at all. Most of the runners we coach are based in New Zealand and Australia, but we're coaching an increasing number of athletes internationally.

We're particularly well placed to help international athletes preparing for New Zealand and Australian ultra-trail events such as Tarawera Ultra-Trail and Ultra-Trail Australia, with course, event, climate and local knowledge across our coaching team.

In most cases, we'll match you with the CMF Coach we think best suits your personality, ability and goals, based on the detailed Training Questionnaire you'll complete after booking your Free Coach Call.

You're also welcome to choose your own coach. You can explore our coach bios, request someone specifically in your questionnaire, or even use AI as a tool to help you compare our coaches and find who might suit you best.

We've tried offering ready-to-go training plans in the past and learned that they simply aren't where we do our best work.

CMF is built around high-quality, personalised 1:1 Run Coaching. There are plenty of places runners can go for ready-to-go plans, apps and lower-touch coaching. We've chosen to focus on what we do really well—real coaches providing personalised coaching to runners who want to level up.

If that's what you're looking for, you're in the right place!

Yes. We offer a range of one-off Specialist Services, including Threshold Sessions & Training Zones, Running Technique Assessments, Strength Assessments and Sweat Testing (in partnership with Real Health Sports Nutrition).

Availability depends on the coach and location. You can explore our Specialist Services or see the services offered by individual coaches within their bios.

After you book your Free Coach Call, we'll email you our detailed Training Questionnaire, which we use to understand more about you, your running and your goals, and to match you with your CMF Coach.

You'll then meet your coach on a no-obligation video call to see if you click, discuss your running and goals, and learn more about what being coached by a CMF Coach could look like for you.
