Crush Your PRs with Coaching
Coach Sandro Sket, NSCA certified, 12+ years experience
Here’s How Coaching Helps You Succeed
Break Through Plateaus
You’ve trained hard but stopped getting faster. I’ll target your weaknesses and build on your strengths to unlock new PRs.
Stay on Track, No Matter What
Work, family, or a shifting race calendar — life happens. Coaching adapts every step of the way, so you never lose momentum.
Train Hard, Stay Healthy
Injuries keep holding you back. I’ll adjust your volume, intensity, and recovery to keep you consistent and injury-free.
Race-Day Confidence
Uncertainty on race day can kill performance. I’ll prepare you to line up confident, knowing you’ve trained the right way.
Stay Accountable
Logging miles isn’t enough. I’ll analyze your training data and give feedback to keep every run purposeful.
Hi, I’m coach Sandro Sket. I’ve been an endurance athlete since my teenage years, racing everything from the 400m sprint to the marathon. I know what it takes to push through brutal track sessions and long runs — and how to turn that work into results.
“I help runners train smarter and run faster using proven methods from elite endurance athletes – adapted to your life.”
As an NSCA-Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist with 12+ years of coaching experience, I’ve guided runners to PRs from the 5K to the marathon. I’d love to help you do the same. 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
New Zealand
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.
You can stay with me for a month or a decade. You don’t have to commit to anything in advance and can cancel coaching at any time – no binding contracts here. But of course it’s feasible to stay with me for a few months at least to see real results.
Yes, I do. I’m less concerned about your current training level than your commitment to improve. In my experience, the runners with the most discipline and consistency also enjoy the most progress.
I will add you as an athlete to my coaching account on FinalSurge. Once I’ve set up your training zones, I will place your upcoming races and/or time trials into you race calendar. Then we will work hand in hand towards that goal.
That means I design your training plan on a weekly basis based on your online training analytics, my interpretation of it, and your feedback. All workouts come with instructions and can be uploaded to your smartwatch so you can follow the prompts in real-time.
I initiate contact with you every Sunday (or at the last Sunday of each month if you are on a Standard plan) through email or the mailbox of the app. Athlete-initiated contact is unlimited and you can expect a reply inside 24 hours.
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.
It’s simple. Fill out the athlete questionnaire answering a few basic questions. Then I’ll send you an email asking a few addional details about your running background, goals, and current challenges. After evaluating your stats and current training, I will outline how I could help you improve your running performance.
If we are a good fit for each other, we can get started right away.
