The coaching layer
Facilities and funding matter, but the daily training decision still belongs to a coach. Sabq documents methods that respond to Egyptian heat, calendars and uneven access to equipment.
Runs Night Lane Acceleration groups in eastern Cairo. Obsessive about first-step mechanics and allergic to copying European winter plans into Egyptian summers. Appears in our heat-adaptation series.
Builds volume around Ramadan and dust alerts. His pyramid-pace charts are the backbone of our distance dispatch. Prefers quiet tempo loops to crowded Nile Corniche mornings.
Former school PE lead turned relay clinician. Designs exchanges that work on uneven playground asphalt. If your batons look like scrap metal, she still finds a drill.
