Timberlin Henderson is an elite ultra runner for Tarkine Athletics, a coach, teacher and a proud Navajo man. Despite being an incredible and competitive athlete, he regards running as medicine and a spiritual endeavour, a way to honour the four mountains and connect with his land and his ancestors.  He has moved away from using modern, high carb nutrition in favour of the staples of his peoples traditional diet, corn, beans and squash.  He has also moved away from representing marijuana companies and identifying as a "cannabis athlete" to be a role model for the youth of the reservation which has been blighted by addiction problems, and to better connect with his spirituality and cultural practices.  This was a huge privilege and deeply inspiring for someone who is sick of feeling sick of gels, and tired of feeling frustrated by training setbacks.
