Unleash your potential with professional guidance!
Achieve the results you want
You have made progress in the past but now reached a point where further improvements are difficult. Hence, you are uncertain how to structure your plan. I will help you train for maximum effect to achieve faster race results.
Train with flexibility
Your life often gets in the way of training with work & family commitments, illness, or a changing race calendar. Unlike a standard training plan, coaching is fluid and adapts to your schedule. Whatever happens, I got your back!
Keep injuries at bay
You have a history of recurring running injuries that hinders you from consistent training and racing. I will address this issue with personalized interventions that reduce the likelhood of injury to keep you on the road for a lifetime.
Stay motivated
You are no longer motivated because you are not improving despite hard training. I will help you discover your strenghts and address your weaknesses with an effective and exciting training plan designed specifically for you.
Hi, I’m coach Sandro Sket. I’ve been an endurance athlete since a young teenager and ran my first half marathon age 17. Over the years, I have competed in distances from the 400m sprint to the marathon. I know what it means to push through fast track workouts and monster long runs.
“I help competitive-minded runners shave minutes off their PRs with personalized, adaptive training.”
As an NSCA-Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist with 12 years of coaching experience, I can help you, too, to set new personal records from the 5K to the marathon. You can learn more about me here.

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 broke my 20 year 5K PR by 21 sec to 15:48. And with his plan, I was able to break my HM PR by almost 4 min to 1:14:29.

Sandro’s very well thought out coaching has assisted my running greatly, being able to fit my runs around the changing hours I work with my job. I am certain I would not have managed a 2:58 marathon PB at 45 years old without Sandro’s coaching.
Richard Leary

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.

All coaching and communication is exclusively done by myself, Sandro Sket. You won’t have to talk to an assistant – ever! It’s my philosophy that knowledge work and expertise can’t be outsourced without compromising the quality of coaching. Hence, I can’t compete on price with some of my competitors. But I can assure you that you get the attention to detail you deserve to become the best athlete possible. For that reason 1-on-1 online coaching is strictly limited to 20 runners.
The Standard subscription includes all the essentials of coaching and the quality of the training program itself is in no way inferior to the Premium or Elite subscription.
The Premium subscription also includes a monthly coaching call, video calls before important races, and daily feedback to all your runs by analyzing pace and heart rate.
The Elite subscription includes weekly coaching calls, advanced data analytics (heart rate variablity, ground contact time, lactate values etc.), and unlimited coach access via calls.
In coaching we take the short-term, medium-term, and long-term view. You will quickly feel better and stronger in training, perform better at races over the mid-term, and over the seasons you will get to a higher level as a runner. In exercise lingo coaches refer to it as microcycles, mesocycles, and macrocycles.
You can expect a faster improvement than with a standard training plan because the training is specifically tailored to your particular strengths and weaknesses. But the real benefit of coaching lies in the continuous improvemet over an entire season (or several seasons for that matter) as a standard training plan can’t predict the future beyond a few months.
If we are a goof fit for each other, we can get started right away.
