In this episode, we sit down with Tim Moffatt, a runner who took a unique path into the world of endurance running. Tim’s story is inspiring, not just because of his achievements in running, but because of his journey growing up with two wheelchair-bound parents, which shaped his outlook on life and his approach to challenges.
Tim shares how, as a kid, he hated sports but always found joy in walking everywhere, often pushing himself to cover long distances on foot. This love for walking eventually morphed into a passion for running, spurred by the encouragement of friends. His first run was an impulsive 12km race, and from there, his running journey took off.
Tim talks about his experience in road marathons, and how he transitioned into trail running and ultra-endurance events. His story is filled with moments of resilience and determination, like completing the challenging UTA 100km race after never having run a trail race before! Tim’s journey will inspire listeners to find joy in the challenge and push their limits, whether they’re running their first 5k or tackling an ultra.
Running Tips from Tim:
1.Walk Before You Run: Tim’s early years of walking long distances helped build his endurance for running.
2.Start Small, Dream Big: You don’t have to start with a marathon—take your time and build up your distance.
3.Be Inspired by Challenges: Don’t shy away from tough runs; use them as a way to push your limits.
4.Find Your Own Pace: Running is personal, so listen to your body and find the pace that works for you.
5.Enjoy the Journey: Running is more than just racing—enjoy the adventure and the places it takes you.
6.Be Part of the Community: Running with others or joining a running group can give you extra motivation.
