Training hard,
but not improving?
Coaching for what’s holding you back.
Find it. Train it. Race faster.
Personalized at every level
Every workout
Every session is chosen for a specific purpose and adapted to your strengths, weaknesses, and current fitness. I update your training zones as your fitness changes, using tests, time trials, and race results.
Every week
I build your week around your preferred running days and space the key sessions to match your recovery profile. Leave a note after any session and I rebuild the next week around your feedback and training data.
Every cycle
I periodize your season around your race calendar, so your training matches what each race demands and what you need most, whether that is VO2max, threshold speed, or fatigue resistance at race pace.
Athlete results
The structure and guidance helped me execute a new marathon 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.

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
New Zealand
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 seconds to 15:48 and I was able to break my half marathon PR by almost 4 minutes to 1:14:29.

Sandro Sket, CSCS
NSCA-Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist
I’ve been an endurance athlete since my teenage years, racing everything from the 400m to the marathon. I know what it takes to push through hard track sessions and demanding long runs.
For 12 years, I’ve helped competitive amateur runners go from training hard without improving to making measurable progress, so they show up on race day ready to set a new personal best.

All coaching and communication is handled directly by me, Sandro Sket. I don’t outsource coaching or delegate athlete management to assistants. My approach is based on the belief that training decisions and performance oversight require direct involvement to maintain quality and consistency.
To ensure that level of attention, remote coaching is intentionally limited to a small number of athletes.
Most runners notice improvements in how training feels within the first few weeks as load, recovery, and execution become better aligned. Race performance typically improves over the following months as fitness compounds and preparation becomes more specific.
You’ll improve more than with a standard training plan because training is adjusted continuously to your strengths, limitations, and response to load.
But the real advantage of coaching is that performance improvements go beyond your next A-race, because decisions are made to achieve your full potential over the long term.
Start by signing up to online coaching.
Then I’ll send you an email to ask about your training background, race goal, and current challenges. I’ll review your information and then we will start training toward your goal with individualized coaching.
If you have any questions before you commit to coaching you can write me an email to: sandro@runningfront.com
