Meet the Coach:
Kathleen Timlin began running at the young age of 38. After years of walking, she joined the Beginner’s Running Program at Scranton Running Company. This program would then grow to become Barrier Breakers. She moved from 5k races to 10k to the half marathon in the first few years. Kathleen became a coach after years with the program and helped new groups of people fall in love with the sport of running. While Kathleen is not the fastest runner out there, she is proof that it is never too late to start running and anyone can do it.
For more information or questions about any of our training programs, call Coach Kathleen: 570-357-3786.
