About Mahdi

I’m Mehdi Khojasteh Eghbal, known as Siaavosh Khojasteh—a UESCA-certified running coach and endurance athlete based in Tehran. With years of experience in road races, I help runners of all levels train smarter, avoid injury, and grow stronger. My approach blends science-based methods, structured plans, and a deep focus on mindset, strength, and sustainability. Whether you’re starting your first 5K or aiming to level up, I’m here to guide you with care, clarity, and commitment.

Coaching Philosophy

I believe coaching is a partnership built on trust, understanding, and purpose. Every runner is unique—and so should be their plan. My philosophy combines science-based training with real-life flexibility, focusing on long-term progress, mental resilience, and injury prevention. I emphasize strength, mobility, and recovery as much as pace and distance. My role isn’t just to write workouts, but to support, educate, and empower athletes—whether they’re chasing a personal goal or rediscovering the joy of running. Coaching is not about perfection, it’s about progress—with consistency, awareness, and compassion.
