NSCA-Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist
I’ve been an endurance athlete since the age of 14. It all started with mountain biking and triathlon, but eventually, I found running the most rewarding sport. On the amateur level, I have competed (and won awards) in distances ranging from the 400m sprint all the way to the marathon on as little as 4 – 5 running days per week. As an NSCA-Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist with 10 years of coaching experience, I help amateur and age-group runners like yourself to set new personal records. Contact me via email if you have any questions or if you are unsure which plan or coaching option is a good fit for you. Read more…

What Athletes Are Saying
Sandro’s expertise and attention to detail has helped me improve more than I had thought possible. Through his online coaching, I was able to break my 20 year 5K PR by 21 sec to 15:48. And with his training plan, I was able to break my HM PR by almost 4 min to 1:14:29.

After I started to follow Sandro’s training plan my running improved more in 8 weeks than it did in the last 2 years when I wasn’t getting any guidance. Instead of doing the same distances and lots of mileage, my training has finally become fun again.

Following the competitive marathon plan helped me reach a new PR with a first place overall finish in 2:39:37 on a hilly course. Sandro’s scientific approach ensures that every run and workout has a purpose, arriving at the starting line fit, healthy, and fresh.
