Tim Hanson – CP Coach

We are very excited to announce an addition to our coaching team.

Welcome aboard Tim Hanson.

Tim shares a little about himself below….

Hi, I am Tim, an Auckland based Team CP coach.

I have been endurance racing for over 10 years now. It all started for me while living in Western Australia where the challenge of completing an Ironman 70.3 was presented to me by a friend. As you could imagine the journey going from very little experience in the sport to completing such a distance was a large undertaking, but it was also a really rewarding experience and one that kick-started my love for all things endurance sport.

Ever since, it is safe to say I have been hooked, having now completed multiple Ironman 70.3 & Ironman distance events across Australia & New Zealand.

Being raised in Canterbury I remember when I was younger watching these people cross the finish line on the sands of Sumner Beach after traversing from one side of the South Island to the other. I thought these people were incredible, but never did I think that one day that would or could be me. In 2023, I got to experience that finish line after completing the Coast to Coast Longest Day, yet again this was a journey full of highs, lows, learnings, setbacks and comebacks which have provided me with more experiences that I now take with me into my coaching.

Outside of Coaching Team CPer’s I also coach in the corporate world. I do a lot of work with individuals and teams within organisations helping them create high performance environments that enable them to achieve optimal results. I am also a qualified personal trainer with over 5 years’ experience in the fitness industry having helped clients reach their goals both in New Zealand and overseas (OZ & Canada)

I love being part of the wider Team CP community and I feel so fortunate to be able to work with a great bunch of people who have a desire to achieve extraordinary things.

Endurance sport has done so much for me personally, so to be in a position where I can be part of other people’s journey’s helping them bring their goals to life no matter how big or small is really exciting.
