About Coach Breno Melo – Endurance Coaching With Results
Triathlon, Running, and Cycling for Peak Performance
Empowering Your Success With Proven Expertise
My athletic career spans over 20 years, starting with competitive swimming in Brazil and growing into a pro triathlon career in the U.S. I’ve dealt with challenges, like coming back from a tough knee injury, and I’ve celebrated big milestones—like finishing 2nd at the 2016 70.3 Pan American Championship.
These experiences shaped how I coach: with resilience, practical training, and a personal approach. Every athlete I work with gets this same mindset—real-world lessons, not theory.
Credentials
Embracing the Endurance World Challenge
If you’re serious about your own best performance, you’re in the right place. Decades in swimming, running, and triathlon have taken me from passionate competitor to pro athlete to coach.
I’m committed to helping you set—and hit—your goals, no matter where you’re starting from.
Tailored Training For Every Athlete’s Journey
I’ve completed over 50 races around the world and coached athletes at Boston University and Lifetime Fitness. My approach mixes data-driven training with real experience. I focus on accountability and individual growth.
You get practical, actionable coaching, not just generic plans. We’ll work together to push your limits and get real results.
