Its a shame that people have to come to a thread that is serious and has a lot of value and bash someones faith.
Run at night and like the other gentlemen said avoid hard efforts in the morning. They take to long to recover from and the school day will be really hard.
Here are a couple of articles about KK and Goumri:

They both choose to run in the early morning/late night during Ramadan.

Thanks to you and all those who have given me some great piece of advice. I told the kid he can choose whichever way he thinks is better for him. He will decide to try both ways and then tell me.

Just seen Mo Farah on TV and he's on Ramadan atm too. He said he just takes it a bit easy and trains very early and very late so he can eat after training. Didn't sound like much fun though, if the Olympics were during Ramadan would he still fast I wonder?
They will be!
Ramadan 2012: ~20 July - 18 August
2012 Olympics: 27 July - 12 August
Man, I can just see all the "heartwarming" stories now about the "noble, religious athletes" who threaten their medaling chances by continuing to fast during the Games. Puke.
This kind of stuff is just another reason why I no longer watch the Olympics. How 'bout you "warm our hearts" by showing the competitions?
But they never will. In the US, the OG are almost the only sports that most women watch, and they only do so because of the "human interest" stories. The network isn't going to voluntarily reduce its (already dwindling) audience by sticking to competition coverage...
Man, I miss the 1992 Triplecast. What a treat for a t&f junkie that was.
Didn't KK have this problem during the run-up to the trials? He trained in the early, early morning, I think.
This is on the front page of ESPN today concerning a football team in Michigan and how they are dealing with Ramadan.

It probably shouldn't take someone as smart as me to point this out, but do you really think he would survive a month of being "made" to run the workouts and starve?
How will he starve when he can stuff as much food as he wishes into himself between dusk and dawn?Just a matter of adjusting his training times around that fact,lots of people on shift work and such have to do it.
and i was just informed that 2012 olympics will be right in the middle of Ramadan. Do you think the Arabics can still hammer fast times?
I am fasting during Ramadan.
I do most of my running right before breaking the fast. All of my runs are 10 miles or less during this month (no long runs). I keep the same intensity.
It's definitely not a good idea to run in the morning. The key is hydration at night.
