Coach Appreciation Post
Karim Ramadan for the win
Today I want to send a shoutout to my coach Karim Ramadan. Without his smartly tailored preparation and constant support I would not be a Western States finisher. The 7 months of preparation were a wild ride and there were times when I clearly doubted my abilities as a runner and questioned the process instead of trusting it. Karim stayed calm and focused when I did not and guided me through the many highs and lows. He also equipped me with a set of mental skills that go far beyond the realm of running. He’s not only made me a better runner, but also a better human and I am very much looking forward to tackling the next running projects with him.
