How do you come back from a career-threatening injury when giving up isn’t an option? This week on The Runna Podcast, we’re joined by Tim Don—a two-time Olympian, four-time World Champion, and the man who set the Ironman World Record in 2017 before a devastating accident changed his life.
Days before the 2017 Ironman World Championships in Kona, Tim was hit by a truck while cycling, breaking his neck. Instead of surgery, he chose an extreme recovery method—the halo brace, a metal frame drilled into his skull—giving himself the best chance of returning to elite competition.
We talked about:
🏆Breaking the Ironman World Record with a time of 7:40:23
💔Overcoming a devastating cycling accident and recovering with a halo brace
🏃♂️Running the Boston Marathon just six months later in 2:49:42
⏳Pushing through pain, setbacks, and the mental toughness that keeps him going
Join us as we talk about Tim’s record breaking career, his grueling recovery and his journey since becoming ‘The Man with the Halo’. This is an episode you don’t want to miss.
