Comment: Most of this is unsourced and sources used are largely what he says so primary and not independent. Other sources are brief mentions or make no mention of him. Notability is not inherited so while he may have coached Sifan Hassan, in-depth coverage about him by secondary reliable sources is needed. Also be mindful of WP:CITEKILL. Generally only one source is needed to support a fact. S0091 (talk) 20:22, 12 August 2024 (UTC)

Tim Rowberry is an American track and field coach. He is best known for coaching Ethiopian-born Dutch runner Sifan Hassan to personal bests and Olympic medals in the 1500 metres, 3000 metres, 5000 metres, 10,000 metres, and marathon.
Coaching Career
[edit]Rowberry began coaching Sifan Hassan in 2018, when she broke the world record in the 10,000 m in Hengelo, Netherlands, clocking 29:06.82 to break previous record by 10.63 seconds.[1]
In 2020, Hassan and Rowberry achieved further success at the Tokyo Olympics, where Hassan made history by winning gold medals in the 5,000 m and 10,000 m and a bronze medal in the 1500 m. This made her the only athlete in Olympic history to win medals in both the 1500 m and 10,000 m in a single Games.[2]
At the Paris 2024 Olympics, Hassan secured a bronze medal in both the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters, and a gold medal in the marathon, setting an Olympic Record time of 2:22:55. The only other athlete to have taken medals in all three events at the same Olympic Games was Emil Zatopek who won three golds in 1952. Rowberry and Hassan had the idea to make the same attempt after watching a documentary on Zatopek after Hassan won the London Marathon in 2023, and wondered if she could pull off the same feat. [3][4][5][6]
His regimen for Hassan includes a mix of endurance runs, interval training, strength exercises, and a carefully structured recovery plan, supported by a well-planned nutritional strategy. He emphasizes not only physical preparation but also mental resilience. To prepare for the Paris Olympics Hassan raced on tired legs, without substantial breaks between major races, in situations that were similar to the conditions she would face at the Olympics. [7][6][8]
In addition to his work with Hassan, Rowberry also coached Ethiopian runner Yomif Kejelcha. On 9 February 2019, at the Millrose Games, Kejelcha came within a hundredth of a second of breaking Hicham El Guerrouj's world indoor mile record, running an Ethiopian national record and a Millrose meet record of 3:48.46. This performance made Kejelcha the second-fastest athlete of all time in the event. Just weeks later, on 3 March 2019, Kejelcha broke El Guerrouj's record with a time of 3:47.01, slicing 1.44 seconds off the mark set in 1997. Though he narrowly missed the 1500 meters world indoor record with his 3:31.25 split en route, this time made him the third-fastest indoor performer in history. During his time with Rowberry, Kejelcha also won the silver medal in the 10,000 meters at the 2019 World Athletics Championships in Doha, Qatar. Yomif Kejelcha remained in Hassan's training group until his departure to Adidas in 2021.[9]
In 2022, he took on the coaching of Halima Nakaayi, the 2019 World Champion in the 800 meters.
