A Coach Focused on
the Individual as
much as the Event.
Coaching that meets you where you are —
and helps you go further.
You don’t need to be fast. You don’t need to be perfect.
You just need to show up.
I’m Roberto Mandje — Olympian, professional runner, and passionate running coach. After years of competing at the highest levels, I now help runners of all abilities achieve their goals with personalized training plans designed around your life, your body, and your ambitions.
No cookie-cutter templates. No generic plans. Just smart, personalized coaching that fits.
I coach runners of all levels - from 6-hour marathoners to those aiming for a 2:30 finish and everything in between.
What matters most? That you’re ready to train with intention.
I work best with:
Runners training for their first marathon or half marathon
Athletes aiming to break a time barrier (sub-4, sub-3, BQ, etc.)
Busy professionals who want high-touch coaching with real accountability
People navigating mindset challenges, burnout, or big life transitions
Runners who want their training plan to reflect their actual life, not just miles
