Rebuilt run economy from scratch with a 14-week threshold block, then layered race-pace bricks. Walked off the podium in Pucón eight months later.
Removed three junk-mileage weeks per month, added two structured workouts and one long progression. Same hours, different signal — broke 3 in the next training block.
Polarized base, sweet-spot build, micro-dose VO2 — and finally fixed the over-training cycle that was capping her aerobic ceiling.
“Breno rebuilt my run off the bike from scratch. Twelve weeks later I ran a 1:24 half off a 70.3 bike split — my old open PR.”
“Every plan I'd done before was someone else's template. Breno built mine around two kids, a 50-hour job, and a Western States goal. We hit it.”
“I came in with a stale FTP I hadn't moved in 18 months. The block was brutal and brilliant — +38 W in one season and a national TT podium.”
“I couldn't swim 200m without stopping in January. Crossed the Olympic finish line in August feeling like I had another gear left.”
“Sub-3 was the dream for six years. Breno's training had me running paces I genuinely didn't believe were possible — and holding them.”
“Three Ironmans, three DNFs from blowing up on the bike. Year four with Breno: paced it, fueled it, ran the marathon. 9:47 in Cozumel.”
