Training for a real life.

I’m Breno Melo, an endurance coach in Fenway, Boston, since 2015. I coach runners, triathletes and cyclists in English, Portuguese and Spanish. My work starts with your goal and the hours you can protect. I write the training, review what happened and change the block with you as your week changes.

From the pool to your training week.

  1. Belo Horizonte

    Competitive swimming at Minas Tênis Clube was my starting point. Repetition, technique and consistency still shape how I think about training.

  2. Racing internationally

    I represented Team Brazil at the ITU Grand Final in Chicago and qualified for the professional field at the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in Lahti.

  3. Coaching in Boston

    Since 2015, I have helped runners, cyclists and triathletes fit training around their lives. Apex brings a structured plan to athletes who want software support; my limited 1:1 roster provides direct personal review.

From the pool to the plan.

I started in competitive swimming at Minas Tênis Clube in Belo Horizonte. I studied at Boston University and completed an MBA. I raced for Team Brazil at the ITU Grand Final in Chicago and qualified for the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship in the pro field in Lahti.

I’ve coached 500+ athletes, including the BU Triathlon Team, the Life Time Endurance Program in the Northeast and Pan-Mass Challenge riders.

How does the CORE Method work?

Start with context. Organize the week. Review the response. Execute what matters. A session has a purpose, but that purpose can change when your life changes. Missed training is information, not a debt to repay on Sunday.
