Tim Downey, PT, DPT, CSCS
Chief Clinical Officer, Sports Orthopedic Specialist, Performance Coaching
Hello — and welcome. My name is Tim Downey. I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy, Running Performance Coach dedicated to the science of performance and rehab.
Based in NYC, my focus is to bridge the gap between clinical biomechanics and high-performance output. From designing the logic for sports-tech to coaching athletes of all levels through their first 5K or a multi-day ultra-marathon, my goal is simple: to help you become a more resilient, durable, and self-aware athlete.
My journey began on the track in high school and evolved into a decade-long obsession with the marathon. Along the way, I realized that the space between 'recovering from an injury' and 'performing at your peak' is where most runners get lost. I founded Soleus Endurance to bridge that gap—merging elite training with clinical expertise to help you perform your best.

Why Soleus Endurance
Soleus Endurance was created to give athletes high level resources through physical therapy and coaching that they need beyond just the miles - applying research, science, and experience to training to deliver a holistic, personalized approach to your goals.
The soleus is known as the runner's muscle - and as a result, is often a component of common running related injuries. Over my years of coaching and clinical work, I’ve seen a gap in how strength & conditioning is incorporated into training plans and rehab programs - and full rest is used & prescribed as the optimal recovery for many injuries soft tissue and acute.
My expertise is seamlessly integrating strength & conditioning and mobility into your daily routine to optimize your performance, reduce the risk of injury, and improve your recovery - from your first race to your 20th marathon to a post-op ACL reconstruction.
