Hi, I’m Tim
Welcome to Timbo Runs — a personal space about running, recovery, resilience and the many things that make life interesting.
I’m Tim Redman, a runner from Flint in North Wales. Running has been part of my life for more than a decade. It has taken me from quiet local miles to some unforgettable races, including the London Marathon and the Great North Run.
For me, running is about much more than pace or distance. It gives me time to think, helps me look after my mental health and reminds me that progress does not have to be perfect to matter.
Finding my way back
After a long-term wrist injury and recent surgery, I’m currently finding my way back to running. Recovery has brought its own challenges, but it has also given me a new perspective on patience, persistence and celebrating the small victories.
I live with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), and I’m open about the impact that physical and mental health can have on everyday life. I share my experiences honestly, while recognising that everyone’s journey is different.
What you’ll find here
Timbo Runs is where I share running stories, race memories, recovery updates, training thoughts, mental-health reflections and the occasional adventure away from the road. You’ll also find plenty of encouragement for anyone trying to keep moving through life’s ups and downs.
My wife, Gayle, is also a runner, and running has given us many shared experiences over the years. Some of my favourite memories are the races, trips and ordinary training miles we have enjoyed together.
Let’s keep moving
If you enjoy running, are returning after time away, or simply need a reminder that small steps still count, I hope you’ll feel at home here.
You can follow my ongoing journey on Instagram at @timbo.runs. If you’re a running brand interested in working together, I’d be happy to hear from you.
Thanks for stopping by.
Happy running,
Tim
