Endurance coach. Twelve-time Boston qualifier. Eighteen-plus race wins. A decade spent learning that the best plan is the one you can actually run, ride, and recover from — and then doing it again tomorrow.
Most coaches will sell you a personality. I'd rather sell you a method. The method is built on physiology, sharpened by ten years of trial-and-error on real athletes, and stress-tested by Boston Marathons, IRONMANs, and a few people who just wanted to finish their first 5K without walking.
If we work together, you'll get a plan that respects your life — and a coach who tells you the truth before, during, and after every block. That's the entire promise.
I came up as a competitive runner in Brazil — chasing 10Ks, half-marathons, and eventually the marathon. The drive was always there. What I lacked was a coach who could explain why a workout existed, not just what it was. So I started reading every physiology textbook I could find.
I moved to Boston and started coaching one friend who wanted to BQ. He hit it nine months later. Word travelled. Inside two years I had a full roster of athletes — runners, triathletes, cyclists — each one different, each one demanding I get sharper.
RRCA, USAT Level I, then USAT Level II, then TrainingPeaks Level 2. The certifications were the floor. The real schooling was 800+ athletes later — knowing which knob to turn when a marathon block starts to crack at week ten.
Today I work with a small roster of 1:1 athletes and a wider community of program subscribers. Sessions in English, Portuguese, or Spanish. Headquartered in Fenway — but most of my athletes I've never met in person. The work happens in the inbox, on TrainingPeaks, and on the start line.
These aren't slogans on a wall. They're the actual filters every workout, every plan revision, and every athlete conversation gets run through.
Plans get built around your physiology, your schedule, and your race demands — never copy-pasted from last season's block.
We work off lactate, power, heart rate, and HRV. We listen to how you feel too — but the numbers are what keep us out of the hole.
The athletes who PR consistently are the ones who can absorb easy volume. Most never let themselves go slow enough to get fast.
A plan that survives a sick kid, a tweaked Achilles, and a 60-hour work week is the only plan that gets you to the start line.
Certifications are the floor — not the ceiling. The real qualification is athletes who keep coming back season after season.
“Breno rebuilt my run off the bike from scratch. Twelve weeks later I ran a 1:24 half off a 70.3 bike split — my old open PR.”
“Every plan I'd done before was someone else's template. Breno built mine around two kids, a 50-hour job, and a Western States goal. We hit it.”
“I came in with a stale FTP I hadn't moved in 18 months. The block was brutal and brilliant — +38 W in one season and a national TT podium.”
“I couldn't swim 200m without stopping in January. Crossed the Olympic finish line in August feeling like I had another gear left.”
“Sub-3 was the dream for six years. Breno's training had me running paces I genuinely didn't believe were possible — and holding them.”
“Three Ironmans, three DNFs from blowing up on the bike. Year four with Breno: paced it, fueled it, ran the marathon. 9:47 in Cozumel.”
