What the CMF CREW have to say
You can be absolutely any level of running, and find huge value from having a coach. The coaches at CMF Running can dig down into every aspect of your running and health, from everyday nutrition to strength training to nailing the all important mental side of running (which turned out to be hugely important for me).
They’re kind, patient, supportive, and really listen to you. They’ve also fostered a great running community. As a data lover, I also enjoy the added analysis that the coaching/ training app Training Peaks adds to my runs too.
I’m so glad a year ago I reached out, it’s been of immense value, and I’d also say quite life changing in terms of my running and overall health. I would highly recommend the team at CMF Running to anyone.

What can I say? Charlotte and Chris are an inspirational couple who are all heart and passion. They're actively chasing their dreams and changing lives in the process! I've been training with these total BABES for close to 2 years (or more?! Time flies!), and I've experienced nothing but unwavering support and a shared enthusiasm for my reaching my running goals. Char and I have spent the past three months working on a female-specific training methodology that has literally transformed my running experience. It has delivered me heaps of fitness gains and helped me achieve my 2023 event goal of running the 50k at the Taupō Ultra. This female-specific approach to training sets Char and CMF Running apart from the rest and will change many gorgeous running Sista's lives for years to come! You guys rock. Don't change! Keep honing your craft, building your community and smashing it! You deserve all the goodness and growth that's coming your way!

Chris and Charlotte have created a really inclusive running family and community which has been the biggest bonus on top of the 1 on 1 coaching. I have met some amazing people and discovered different parts of the country by buying in to the CMF ethos and community training events.
Chris has coached me, and tailored my running schedule around my life responsibilities, and given me the appetite to run different distances and try new types of races which I have really enjoyed. Working with Chris has been an education in itself, and look forward to crushing more goals and running many races under his tutelage in the future!

I highly recommend Chris and the team and CMF Running for anyone looking to engage a coach, over the past 2 years CMF Running have been instrumental in helping me hit my goals and remain injury free, they coached me to my first marathon, and then onto a 50k & 100k ultras. Before CMF i was a 2.30 half marathon runner and under their guidance recently ran a 1:36 half marathon with a sub 90 on the horizon, I could not have done this without them. One of the best things about CMF is the sense of community the build with all their runners, holding group runs and often have large groups running the same events. As well as the partner discounts you get from being a member. Whether you're a beginner or a sub 3 hour marathoner, CMF are the best in the business when it comes to knowledge, guidance and support.

During my preparation for the TUM Miler 2024, I collaborated with CMF. They tailored my training plan to fit seamlessly into my life and work schedule, with Chris quickly understanding my needs. I have nothing but praise for the training and advice I received. If not for a hydration setback during the event, I would have achieved a highly competitive time. If you're seeking a coach who will support your goals, push you, and foster a personal connection, CMF is the perfect choice. The camaraderie within the team fosters a desire to excel and make everyone proud. I highly recommend CMF for runners of all levels – get out there, enjoy running, and have fun!

The CMF team have helped me find a person inside me that I didn't know was there. They take a personal interest in your goals and journey.
I've been able to learn and achieve thing by working with them that I'd never otherwise have been able to do. The mix of running and resistance training expertise is especially helpful. And, they are really nice people as well.
