She won six Olympic medals. In Tokyo 2020, she earned gold in the 5k and 10k, plus a bronze in the 1,500m. At the Paris 2024 Olympics, she won gold in the marathon, bronze in the 5k, and bronze in the 10k. Absolutely mindblowing how Sifan and Tim pulled that off. She also won her first 2 marathons in London and Chicago. 

Tim is a thoughtful, curious, and highly analytical coach who blends science, psychology, and intuition to bring out the best in his athletes. We dive into his coaching philosophy, his approach to developing athletes over time, and the key lessons he’s learned working at the highest level of the sport.
