Sandro, I ran the Mesa Marathon today in 2:49:27 h. Snuck under 2:50! Many thanks for your training plan. I felt very prepared going into the race today.

I followed one of Sandro’s 16-week half-marathon training programs and really enjoyed the structure of the plan. I felt strong throughout the race and was ecstatic to improve my PR by 7 minutes and achieve my goal of sub-90 minutes.

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.
