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.
Shai Birmaher
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.
Carina Leps
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.
