Welcome to TimboRuns.com! I’m Tim Redman, a passionate running enthusiast and a professional deeply committed to digital transformation in the healthcare sector, specifically within the NHS. My journey is a unique blend of professional accomplishments and a personal love for running, which I believe can inspire many.
The Starting Line: Discovering My Passion for Running I laced up my running shoes for the first time when I turned 40, driven by a lifelong dream to run a marathon. What started as a personal challenge soon transformed into a journey of discovery, resilience, and joy.
Racing Against Odds: 12 Half Marathons in 12 Months One of my most notable achievements in running was completing 12 half marathons over 12 months. This feat was not just about distance or endurance; it was a triumph over adversity. Diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder and experiencing active seizures, this journey was about pushing beyond the perceived limits, both physical and mental.
My Philosophy: Running Should Be Fun I firmly believe that running should be a source of joy and not just a fitness regime. My approach to training reflects this philosophy, focusing on the enjoyment and fulfillment that running brings. It’s about the journey, not just the finish line.
Life Beyond the Track When I’m not running, I’m deeply involved in my role as a Primary Care Network Digital and Transformation Lead in the NHS. My work focuses on enhancing healthcare through digital innovation, a cause close to my heart. Besides my professional pursuits, I have a love for aviation and once held a Private Pilot License. Traveling with my wife and running buddy, Gayle, is another passion, allowing us to explore new horizons together.
Why TimboRuns.com? The inception of TimboRuns.com was to share a simple, yet powerful message: it’s never too late to start running. Through this blog, I aim to inspire others, especially those who might think they’ve missed their opportunity to take up running.
My Running Dream: The London Marathon Looking ahead, my sights are set on completing the London Marathon. It’s not just about the race; it’s about setting personal goals and striving to achieve them, one step at a time.
Advice for Aspiring Runners To anyone looking to start their running journey, my advice is simple: begin with the Couch to 5K program and build from there. Running is a journey that starts with a single step and grows with every mile.
A Quirky Fact: Ear-Wiggling Talent On a lighter note, I possess a quirky talent – I can wiggle my ears, both together and independently! It’s a fun party trick that never fails to amuse.
