70.3 coach — half IRONMAN coaching done right.
The 70.3 is won and lost on the bike-to-run transition. Online 1:1 coaching built around long bricks, rehearsed nutrition, and a race plan that holds for the second half of the run.
What the coaching looks like.
Bricks that work
60–80 mi bike + 30–60 min run, progressed from week 8. The session that stops the 70.3 run from becoming a death march.
Nutrition rehearsed
Race-day fueling tested 10+ times before race week — calorie target, sodium, gut tolerance. No surprises on race day.
Race plan locked
Bike power targets, run pacing, transition flow — all decided by week 20. You execute, you don't improvise.
What you get.
- 24-week periodized build (base → build → race) keyed to your race date.
- Bike sessions in watts (if you have power) or HR/RPE (if you don't).
- Open-water swim sessions sequenced by water temp and race date.
- Direct messaging access — same coach, every week.
- Race-week and race-day briefing call included.
Is this coaching right for you?
Coaching for this build runs from $250 every 4 weeks ($3,250 per year). Here is who it does and does not suit.
This is for you if
- You have a 70.3 entered 16 to 24 weeks out and a finish time you care about.
- You can hold 10 to 14 hours a week through the build, including a long ride and a long run in the same weekend.
- You want fuelling rehearsed in training rather than improvised on race day.
- You have blown up on the run off the bike before and want to know why.
This is not for you if
- You cannot reliably find 10 hours a week. A 70.3 built at 6 hours a week is a survival exercise, and you will not enjoy it.
- You have not yet completed an Olympic-distance race or a 100km ride. Build the base this season and coach the 70.3 next.
- You want a proven 24-week structure and nothing else. That plan is a one-off $99 at /programs, against $2,100 for six cycles of Performance coaching.
- You are chasing a 70.3 Worlds slot from outside the top 20% of your age group. Be realistic about the gap on the fit call.

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.”
“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.”

FAQ
How long should I train for a 70.3?
24 weeks is the sweet spot for most age-groupers. First-timers benefit from 28–32 with a longer base block. We back-plan from race day and protect the brick progression.
How much swim/bike/run volume do I need?
Most age-group 70.3 athletes train 10–14 hours/week in build, peaking 14–18. Aurora-tier athletes can finish well at 8–10. ThunderBird Kona-qualifying athletes routinely train 16–20.
What's the most underrated 70.3 session?
The long brick. 60–80 mi bike + 30–60 min run. Built progressively from week 8. It's how you stop the 70.3 run from becoming a death march.
How much does 70.3 coaching cost?
Phoenix $350/mo (most 70.3 athletes) or ThunderBird $750/mo (capped at 4 athletes).

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.
