You don't need more volume.
You need a coach who reads
your data and your life.
Generic plans break when life gets real. Travel, kids, late meetings, a tweaked Achilles.
Volume without specificity wastes years. Most age-groupers train themselves into plateaus.
World-class racing is the product of small, compounding decisions. That is what coaching is.
What are you training for?
Tell me your goal in your own words. I'll ask a couple of quick questions and point you to the right path — Apex, 1:1 coaching, or a free call with Breno.
Three ways to work together.

The CORE
Method.
Every athlete I coach is built on four pillars. Drop one and the structure fails. Reinforce all four and your floor becomes your ceiling.
See the full methodology →Consistency
Training that survives real life — not the perfect week.
Optimisation
Data-led intensity in every session. No junk miles.
Resilience
Strength, mobility, and fuelling that prevents the breakdown.
Execution
Race plans built backwards from the finish line.
Six layers of work
between you and your A-race.
Every plan stacks the same six pillars — calibrated to your physiology, race, and life. Nothing skipped, nothing copy-pasted.
Diagnostic baseline
Lactate, FTP/CP, HRV, sleep, and historical training load mapped before a single workout is written.
Periodized build
Macro → meso → micro cycles engineered to your A-race date and current fitness — no canned templates.
Daily load steering
Workouts adapt to readiness, fatigue, and life. Real load, not theoretical TSS hitting a number.
Weekly physio review
Every session looked at by a human. Patterns surfaced, dosage tuned, the week ahead recalibrated.
Race-specific peak
Terrain, climate, nutrition, pacing — modeled in training so race day feels rehearsed, not improvised.
Mental performance
Pre-race protocols, in-race decision frameworks, post-race debriefs — the head trained like the legs.
A week in the life of
a coached athlete.
No mystery, no ticketing system, no junior coach. Here's exactly how the relationship runs — every week, every block, all the way to the start line.

A small roster, on purpose.
Coaching is my full-time work — has been since 2015. I cap the roster so every athlete actually gets a coach, not a content drip.
Hard cap. When the roster is full, the application becomes a waitlist.
Mon–Fri response SLA on iMessage, WhatsApp, and TrainingPeaks comments.
Coaching is my job, not a side project. ~40h/week on athlete files.
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.”
“Unparalleled value. Breno builds a methodical plan that actually targets the weaknesses you'd rather not look at — that's why it works.”
“I finished D2R2 180k — 19 of the 20 climbs are genuinely steep — and I finished it better than I expected. Breno had me ready.”
“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.”
