Hi Sandro, I completed the Buenos Aires Marathon yesterday. I did very well, 3:43. Shaved 7 minutes from my last year’s race. The most important thing is that I felt great during the race. My pace in every 5K did fluctuate between 5:19 and 5:17 per km. I’m very happy. The plan proved to be great.

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.

Sandro, I just wanted to say thank you! I ran the Eugene Half marathon today and ran better than I could have imagined: 1:38:00. My goal was around 1:45. Your program prepared me very well to do my best today. It helped me regain fitness that was lost over many years. I’m very proud and happy today and look forward to the next one!

I emailed Sandro a few months back about which plan to choose, and he was so kind to help me select the sub-4-hour plan. I ran my PR this weekend after a 10-year hiatus from marathons. I was at 4:11 (a 6 min PR!). I really enjoyed the training and appreciated mixing workouts the way he did. Next up is a half-marathon in May.

I am 46 years old and took up running 5 years ago. On November 13th, I completed a 20-week 10K plan that was diligently developed by Sandro to the last detail following extensive interaction and discussion. The plan was tailored to my work schedule and commitments, my goals and level, and was complemented by valuable advice and knowledge sharing. Sandro’s plan and guidance helped me slash 90 seconds off my PR down to 44.23 (chip time) on a hilly course. He is now helping me move to the next level.

I have been using running plans and getting constant support from Sandro Sket for different distances, but the half marathon is the distance I consistently focused on. By applying the schedule, I was able to improve my personal best year to year, from 1:48h in 2019 to 1:35h in 2022 (even though I went up one age category over the years). I have full trust in running plans for any distance and think I will use them in upcoming years as well.

I followed one of Sandro’s 16-week half-marathon training programs in preparation for my second race in that discipline. I really enjoyed the structure of the plan and feel that my performance gains ramped up compared to when I had programmed my own training. I felt strong throughout the race and was ecstatic to improve my PR by 7 minutes and achieve my goal of sub 90 minutes.

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.

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.

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.
Shai Birmaher
United States
Since I started training with Sandro Sket, my overall triathlon performance went up, especially in my weakest discipline that is running. Within 3 months I improved my ‘off-the-bike’ run by 25 sec/km without increasing my weekly running mileage

Sandro’s in-depth knowledge and understanding of sports coaching enabled me to successfully reflect on my training. He is an approachable individual who truly cares in progressing a runner, at any level, to break his or her barriers to success.
