Tim took up running late in life at 39 as a new father looking for a way to get fit, lose some weight and ensure he was around for his kids. Having never been a runner he was quickly surprised at how much he enjoyed it and soon became a regular at parkrun.
Tim joined Up Coaching with a view to taking his running beyond the 5km distance of parkrun. Tim has now competed in numerous half marathons and ultra marathons up to 50km and is working towards his goal of the 100km ultra in the coming years. His love of running is shared equally between road and trail running.
Tim has recently attained his Athletics Level 1 Run Leader coaching accreditation through Athletics NSW.
Tim is also Run Director at Nepean River parkrun.
“I decided to move into coaching as a further extension of the work I do with parkrun. I feel running has given me so much and I have a great opportunity to assist others to experience the same changes to their life. Seeing others achieve goals they never thought possible is just amazing and brings me a great deal of satisfaction.”

Tim does not have any Coaching stats at the moment.
