I’m Tim, a certified running coach with a passion for helping athletes discover just how far and fast they can go. With over 5 years of experience in coaching (from competitive racing to guiding first-timers) I’ve learned that running is rarely just about the legs; it’s about the heart and the head.

I have coached runners across the spectrum, from 3-hour marathoners to those completing their first 5 km. My background includes completing multiple (ultra) marathons across Europe and US, giving me the empathy to understand the highs of a PR and the frustration of an injury.

My approach is built on the belief that consistency trumps intensity. We don’t train to break you down; we train to build you up.

  • Data-Driven, human-centered: I utilize science-based training principles (like polarized training) but adapt them to your real-life stress, sleep, and schedule.
  • Longevity first: A healthy runner is a fast runner. I prioritize strength work, mobility, and recovery to keep you injury-free for the long haul.
  • The mental game: We will work on race-day psychology, pacing strategies, and overcoming mental barriers.

I don’t just write plans; I build partnerships. Whether you are chasing a Boston Qualifier or running for mental clarity, I am here to guide your journey.

Let’s find your strong.
