10K coach — the best test of real fitness.
The 10K sits right at threshold — punishing if undertrained, rewarding if periodized right. Online 1:1 coaching built around tempo blocks, VO2 sharpening, and race-day pacing.
What the coaching looks like.
Threshold base
Cruise intervals and tempo blocks that lift your lactate ceiling — so 10K pace feels sustainable, not lethal.
VO2 sharpening
Late-block 1000s and mile repeats to add the kick that keeps you on goal pace at 8K.
Pacing discipline
Even splits or negative splits — both rehearsed before race day, with backup plans for wind and heat.
What you get.
- Plan periodized off your current threshold pace — not a chart.
- Tempo blocks progressed weekly off real data.
- Strength + mobility built in to protect speed in the final 3 weeks.
- Direct messaging access — same coach, every week.
- Race-day pacing splits and warm-up routine rehearsed by week 8.

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.”
FAQ
How long should I train for a 10K?
10–12 weeks for most runners. Beginners need 14+; experienced runners off a base can do 8. The 10K is the best test of combined threshold and VO2 fitness.
What's a good 10K time?
Recreational adults: 50–60 min. Trained age-groupers: sub-45. Sub-40 is competitive; sub-35 is regionally fast.
How is 10K coaching different from 5K or marathon coaching?
10K sits right at threshold — so the bulk of the work is tempo and cruise intervals, with sharpening from 5K speed and durability from longer Sunday efforts.
How much does 10K coaching cost?
Three tiers: Aurora $250/mo, Phoenix $350/mo (most 10K athletes), ThunderBird $750/mo (capped at 4 athletes). Free 30-minute call to figure out the fit.
