Athletes on Performance Coaching.
No athlete has yet published a result specifically on Performance Coaching. The reviews below are from other 1:1 coaching athletes — each one is labelled with the product they actually used, so you can weigh it accordingly.
“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.”
“I finished D2R2 180k — 19 of the 20 climbs are genuinely steep — and I finished it better than I expected. Breno had me ready.”
“Unparalleled value. Breno builds a methodical plan that actually targets the weaknesses you'd rather not look at — that's why it works.”
“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.”

Is Performance right for you?
$350 every 4 weeks — $4,550 per year. The tier most athletes with a real time goal end up on.
This is for you if
- You have a specific time goal — a Boston qualifier, a sub-3, a first long-course finish — and a date attached to it.
- You can hold 8 to 15 training hours a week through a build.
- You want to be able to ask a question the day it comes up and get an answer that day or the next.
- You want race-day pacing and fuelling written for your race, and strength work built into the same week rather than bolted on.
- You want a coach who will tell you to back off when your HRV and your ego disagree.
This is not for you if
- You have no goal race. $4,550 per year for programming you are not aiming anywhere is money badly spent.
- You will not use the daily messaging or the monthly call. If you honestly just want the plan, Essential is $1,300 a year cheaper for the same programming brain.
- You want weekly video calls, same-day replies seven days a week, or a coach on the phone during your race. That is Elite, at $9,750 per year.
- You cannot reliably find 8 hours a week. The tier is built around that load and you will pay for capacity you never use.
- You are looking for a nutritionist, a physio or a sports psychologist. You get referrals to people, not those services.
What happens next
From application to your first published week of Performance Coaching. You are not charged before the fit call.
You send the application
About 5 minutes. Your goal race, current training, injury history and what has not worked before.
I read it and reply within 2 business days
Every application is read by me, not a form autoresponder. You get a real answer either way.
A 20-minute call, free, no pitch
We work out whether coaching is the right purchase for you at all. If a self-guided plan or Apex fits better, I will say so on this call.
You get a yes, a waitlist date, or a referral
The roster is capped at 15 athletes. If there is no seat, you get a date or the name of someone better suited — not a holding pattern.
Onboarding and testing
You complete a training history questionnaire and a field test to set your zones. Payment starts here, not before.
Your first 4 weeks are published within 3 days
Loaded into TrainingPeaks with every session described. You can start immediately.
Refunds, cancellation and pausing
- Cancelling
- Cancel any time by email, with no notice period and no exit fee. Your current 4-week cycle finishes as normal and you are not billed again.
- Refunds
- Cycles already started are not refunded, because the plan for those weeks has already been written and delivered. If you cancel before the first session of a new cycle has been published, that cycle is refunded in full.
- Pausing
- You can pause for injury, illness, travel or life for up to 8 weeks a year at no cost, and your seat on the roster is held. Tell me before the next cycle bills. Beyond 8 weeks the seat goes to the waitlist and you rejoin when there is space.
- Price changes
- Your rate is fixed for as long as you stay coached continuously. Published prices only apply to new athletes.
