Episode 24 - Tim Jeffreys, Director of The 41st Day

Runners of NYC Podcast

Before Tim Jeffreys landed at Fohr as the marketing director, where he oversees brand communication that helps companies and agencies execute influencer projects, he wore many hats. He studied math in college, did a little coaching, managed an independent movie theatre and tested his hand at filmmaking. His biggest project and first feature film is coming soon. It called 'The 41st Day' – the title comes from Biblical references and how something special may be bound to happen after 40 days. The film followed American marathoner Ryan Hall and his build-up to the London Olympics in 2012. However, injuries spiraled and really changed Hall’s career until he retired in 2015. The film was also a major part of Tim’s life and so it was also life-changing for him. We spend a bit of time discussing its impact and Tim’s passion toward his work. We also touch on Tim's history as a decent high school runner in North Carolina, his first marathon at 16, finding out his grandfather served up a historic home run to Babe Ruth and much more.
