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

What You’ll Get

  • Weekly personalized training plans, delivered via Final Surge or your preferred platform

  • Real-time adjustments based on your feedback, schedule, and recovery needs

  • Direct access to me for questions, support, and race prep

  • Mindset coaching and strategy designed to help you show up fully

  • Pacing guidance and full support through taper and race day
