The Heart of Better by Next Week: A Father-Son Journey

Better by next week ... A Podcast

Fifteen years ago, Dad Tim embarked on an ultra running odyssey, stepping onto rugged trails with a passion that would define his path. Through relentless trial and error, Tim honed his craft, transforming setbacks into stepping stones and miles into mastery. His journey wasn’t just about running; it was about forging a mindset that embraced resilience and growth.

From the side lines, Son Ollie observed with quiet curiosity, absorbing his father’s stories of grit and glory. Three years ago, Ollie took the leap, eager to discover what fuelled Tim’s fire. What began as a young runner trailing his dad soon blossomed into a remarkable journey of his own, marked by standout performances that raised a question: has Ollie built on Tim’s wisdom, or is he blazing a trail uniquely his own? The answer lies in the beautiful blend of both.

Better by Next Week is Tim and Ollie’s platform to share their evolving journeys as father and son, runners, and lifelong learners. Through their podcast, they reveal hard-earned insights on running, mindset, and the human experience, challenging each other—and their listeners, to grow week after week. Their mission is to create a vibrant community united by the Better by Next Week philosophy, where progress, not perfection, is the goal.

Tim and Ollie envision a space where authenticity reigns, blending practical wisdom with humour and heart. They don’t claim to have all the answers. Some weeks, they’ll stumble; others, they’ll soar. But every episode is a commitment to exploring the highs and lows of chasing better, through running and beyond. By fostering a community that thrives on shared growth, vulnerability, and a refusal to take life too seriously, Better by Next Week invites everyone to join the journey of becoming better, one week at a time.

Perfectly in sync, checking the time and ready to discuss the latest running tips on their podcast.
