With a career spanning three decades, Middaugh rose to prominence in the world of off-road triathlon, eventually reaching the pinnacle of the sport with a victory at the 2015 XTERRA World Championship. His dominance in XTERRA is further underscored by an impressive collection of 15 U.S. National XTERRA Championship titles and his 2021 induction into the XTERRA Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Josiah&#8217;s athletic prowess extends far beyond triathlons. Demonstrating exceptional versatility, he has secured U.S. national championships in disciplines as diverse as snowshoe racing, long-course triathlon, winter triathlon, and fat biking. This broad spectrum of achievements solidifies his reputation as the &#8220;multi-sport athlete of all seasons.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond his competitive endeavors, Middaugh is a dedicated coach and family man who shares his extensive knowledge and wisdom through Middaugh Coaching. He holds a master&#8217;s degree in human movement, blending practical experience with academic understanding. He and his family live in Colorado, where he&#8217;s mastered the art of balancing the demands of a professional athletic career with family life. With a character marked by humility and perseverance, he&#8217;s a highly respected figure in the wider endurance sports community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recently jumped at the opportunity to pick his brain on training for the time-crunched athlete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/firstendurance.com\/blogs\/articles\/training-for-the-time-crunched-endurance-athlete\">Read the full article on First Endurance ><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First Endurance A Roundtable Q&amp;A with Josiah Middaugh It wouldn&#8217;t be hyperbolic to call First Endurance athlete Josiah Middaugh an American multi-sport legend.
