Olympic triathlon coach — standard distance coaching.
The Olympic distance is the sport's most balanced test — short enough to reward intensity, long enough to require real base. Online 1:1 coaching built around race-pace bricks, threshold cycling, and pool sets that bite.
What the coaching looks like.
Race-pace bricks
Bike-to-run at race intensity, progressed from week 6. Builds the legs to run off the bike — not just survive it.
Threshold cycling
FTP-based intervals to lift your sustainable power. The biggest single lever for an Olympic PR.
Swim that holds
Pool sets calibrated to your CSS. Open-water sighting and wetsuit work rehearsed before race week.
What you get.
- 16-week periodized build (base → build → race) keyed to your race date.
- Bike sessions in watts or HR/RPE — your choice of metric.
- Pool sets and open-water sessions sequenced weekly.
- Direct messaging access — same coach, every week.
- Race-day pacing, fuel, and transition plan rehearsed by week 14.
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 an Olympic-distance race entered and a time or a placing you want.
- You can train 8 to 12 hours a week across swim, bike, run and strength.
- You want threshold work balanced across three sports without digging a hole.
This is not for you if
- You have never completed an open-water swim of 1500m. Fix that first, ideally locally and in person.
- You are using the Olympic as a stepping stone to a 70.3 later this year. Coach the 70.3 block instead — you will pay once, not twice.
- You want structure, not a relationship with a coach. Apex plans all three disciplines in one week for $9.99 a month.
They put in the work.
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 an Olympic-distance triathlon?
16 weeks is the sweet spot for most athletes coming off a base. First-timers benefit from 20 weeks with an extended swim block. We back-plan from race day.
How much volume does Olympic-distance need?
8–12 hours/week in build is typical. Essential-tier athletes can race well at 6–8. The Olympic is short enough to reward intensity, long enough to require base.
What's the hardest discipline at Olympic distance?
Depends on background. Most age-groupers lose time on the swim and the run-off-the-bike. We coach both relentlessly — pool sets weekly, brick run every 7–10 days.
How much does Olympic triathlon coaching cost?
Essential $250/4wk, Performance $350/4wk (most Olympic athletes), or Elite $750/4wk (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.
