Our routes weave through Mau Forest — Edwin Soi

"The tropical heat and especially the humidity were the biggest challenges"

"Running competitively keeps me sharp and helps me understand the sacrifices my young athletes are making. Every morning, I run alongside them—I’m not just a coach shouting instructions; I am a competitor in the pain cave with them"

"My athletes dont just see me as a coach. I run alongside them. They learn from how I train, rest, and carry myself. Thats leadership through presence"

"If I am not training, I choose to sleep. That is why people rarely see me except during practice. I prefer to use my free time to sleep"

"These aren’t just trails. They’re tests of character"

"With all that experience, I saw it wise to share my expertise — not just with young athletes, but with anyone willing to train with discipline"
