A small roster, on purpose.
I've been coaching endurance athletes 1:1 since 2015. The roster stays under 15 so every athlete actually gets a coach, not a content drip.
Hard cap under 15 athletes. When the roster is full, the application becomes a waitlist.
Monday to Friday, replies within 24 hours on iMessage, WhatsApp, and TrainingPeaks comments.
11 years coaching endurance athletes 1:1 — focused attention on every file.
They put in the work.
Here's what came out.
“Breno took me from a 5K runner to a full Ironman finisher. 5K 16:57, 70.3 in 4:30, and my first full at IRONMAN Arizona in 9:35 at age 39. The plans fit around clinic, the lab, and three kids — nothing was wasted.”
“Two years with Breno: 26 minutes off my 70.3 and a sub-11 full Ironman. The progression was patient and the workouts were the right ones at the right time.”
“I finished D2R2 180k — 19 of the 20 climbs are genuinely steep — and I finished it better than I expected. Breno had me ready.”
“Unparalleled value. Breno builds a methodical plan that actually targets the weaknesses you'd rather not look at — that's why it works.”
“Running faster. Breno taught me how to actually run easy so I could race faster — and now I'm running both faster and further than I have in years.”
“Busy parent of three with a full-time job. The flexibility in how Breno builds the week is what makes this sustainable for me — the training fits the life, not the other way around.”
“Personalized, motivating sessions. Breno meets athletes wherever they are — beginner or experienced — and the work shows up on race day.”
“A comprehensive, easy-to-follow plan that works for people with busy lives. Nothing feels arbitrary — every session has a reason.”
Evidence is graded, not blended. A verified result is a named athlete with a measurable outcome and an external result link. A named result has the outcome but no public link. An athlete comment is opinion with no measured outcome, and is shown at lower weight on purpose.
