What is customized?

Everything is customized. Your individual workouts, your weekly structure, your weekly total mileage, your week-by-week training progression, and your taper weeks. Also, I will determine your paces and heart rate zones.

Is there ongoing coach to athlete interaction?

No. Of course you can contact me with an occasional question but for full coaching please see 1-on-1 Online Coaching for more details.

Does the plan adjust to my work schedule?

Yes. You can determine your training days and discuss with me how much time you have available for training. That said, optimal training can outperform poorly directed higher training loads.

Do you coach runners of all levels?

Yes. Whether you're a beginner planning to run your first 5K, or an advanced competitor looking to break 3h for the marathon, I will help to get you there safely.

Do you coach ultra runners?

Yes. While I only offer standard plans for the classical road races - namely 5K, 10K, half-marathon, and marathon - I do design custom plans for other distances as well, including ultra and trail.

Do you coach triathletes?

Yes and no. I love to help triathlete's running performances but I am afraid I won't be able to assist with cycling and swimming. But I do have a basic understanding how running fits into multi-sport events as I was an avid triathlete as a teenager.

"Sandro's in-depth knowledge 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." Angelo Karagiannis

"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 adding extra mileage." Michaglio Masiar
