CROSSFIT ENDURANCE CERTIFIED COACHES


Erin Cunningham - In October 2009 a new journey began for Erin upon joining the CrossFit Chicago community. Two weeks in and she was addicted! Prior to CrossFit, Erin was a Division 1 Softball player, competed in a handful of triathlons, 5k’s, 10k’s, and overall just liked to run as a way of keeping fit. Erin placed 16th in the 2010 Midwest Sectional and 7th in the North Central CrossFit Games Regional after only crossfitting for 7 months!! Her #1 goal now is to compete as an individual in the 2011 CrossFit Games. In the process of training for the games she plans on mixing in a variety of Endurance events and eventually completing her first full Chicago Marathon in October. As a coach, Erin is dedicated to helping all other athletes exceed their fitness/endurance goals as well. In addition to her Endurance certification, Erin is also a Level 1 certified CrossFit coach and is currently working on completing her Concept2 Rowing Cerification. She is looking forward to growing the program and reaching out to the Endurance community as CFE continues to grow.


Mike Harris - Mike began CrossFitting in June 2009 because he wanted to become a more complete athlete and to run further and faster. He has competed in a number of endurance events including the Boston Marathon, Steelhead Half Ironman Triathlon, North Face Endurance Challenge 50 Mile Ultramarathon and is a NYC Marathon qualifier. Mike feels CrossFit has opened his eyes on how to train for true fitness and CrossFit Endurance has taught him the proper way to prepare for distance events; he now really enjoys sharing this knowledge with others.
