Dogma Athletica Trainers: Josiah Middaugh

JOSIAH MIDDAUGH

"You are what you consistently do. Champions are not born.
With the right attitude and proper direction, you can begin to realize your true potential. No matter what
your starting point is, there is always room to grow. Self-discovery is about exceeding your
self-imposed limits. There is an athlete inside us all."

Intense physical experience has brought Josiah to a career in personal training and coaching. He knows what it takes to complete ANY goal. Josiah was a Division I Cross Country, Indoor & Outdoor Track Athlete at Central Michigan University. His distance running background was the perfect fit for multi-sport racing, but the swimming took years to develop. Josiah's accomplishments are inspiring to all who know what extreme time, dedication and determination it requires to hold the following titles:

Xterra USA Point Series Pro National Champion 2004, 2005
(1.5 K Swim, 30 K Mountain Bike, 10K Trail Run)
USAT Long Course Pro National Champion 2005
(1.2 Mile Swim, 56 Mile Bike, 13 Mile Run)
North American Snow Shoe Champion 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006
(10K Snow Shoe)
USAT Winter Triathlon National Champion 2006
(4 Mile Run, 12 Mile Mountain Bike, 6 Mile Ski)

Josiah and his wife Ingrid moved to Colorado in 2000. When Josiah is not training, he takes great pleasure in being with his two sons, Sullivan and Porter, riding plastic bikes, and baking cookies.

"Josiah's knowledge of the science behind the sport of triathlon has helped me make the move from amateur to professional triathlete. I am now able to understand why I am doing specific workouts and how they will affect my performance in the long run.

Josiah has taken the guesswork out of my training regimen. He is a well-trained professional to the highest degree, not only as a competitor but as a coach."

Athletes have very special nutritional requirements. Someone trying to make a significant change in body mass and composition also has unique nutritional needs.
