Performance · Personal endurance coaching

Keep the plan connected to a changing week.

Performance is for athletes who want regular feedback as the week unfolds and a scheduled conversation about the bigger picture. I write your personal plan, review your training weekly and provide weekday messaging within 24 hours. A monthly strategy call and TrainingPeaks Premium are included.

Is Performance the right fit?

Your work calendar shifts, you have questions between weekly reviews, or you want help interpreting training before deciding what to change. You value a monthly conversation to connect the next block with your race goal.

Choose Essential if weekly review and email are enough. Compare Elite if you need weekly strategy calls and same-day messaging seven days a week. Performance messaging is a weekday service.

Compare all three tiers

What belongs in the monthly strategy call?

Bring the decisions that need more context: whether the target still fits your preparation, how to approach an upcoming training block, or how travel changes the available hours. We use completed training and your feedback to discuss priorities. The call is monthly; billing runs every four weeks, so these are different cadences.

How does weekday messaging help?

Use it when a session raises a question or your schedule changes before the next review. Tell me what happened, how you felt and what options you have. The included response window is within 24 hours on weekdays. It is not a promise of an immediate reply or weekend coverage.

What does TrainingPeaks Premium add?

Premium is included in this tier as the training platform. The coaching value comes from interpreting your training with you, not from a chart alone. Numbers need the context you supply: perceived effort, the conditions and whether the session fit the day.

An example: travel during a race build

Suppose a work trip replaces your normal pool and bike access with a hotel gym. Share the dates, equipment and realistic training windows. We can review which sessions serve the block and which should change, then use the strategy conversation to revisit the bigger plan. This illustrates the process; it is not a guaranteed outcome.

Getting started

Bring your real week.

After checkout, coaching begins with an intake and a training schedule agreed with Breno. Before the first block, prepare:

  • Recent training with notes on effort and recovery.
  • The next month of travel, races and schedule constraints.
  • The two or three decisions you want to resolve in your strategy call.

Tell me about limitations and relevant professional guidance, as well as your goal. Coaching does not replace medical assessment. If your start date or roster availability is essential to your decision, discuss it before payment.

Total roster capped at 15; Elite capped at 4. Current openings are confirmed individually.
