Wins on my own bib —
before I write yours.

I don't ship plans I haven't pressure-tested at the finish line. Two of 18+ overall wins, both in New England.

The athlete · the finish

Their first IRONMAN.
Carried across.

140.6 miles in Tempe — months of long rides, dark-morning swims, and bricks that felt impossible, finished in one line. This is what the work looks like when the clock stops: the athlete, the medal, the moment. The plan is just how we get here.

They put in the work.
Here's what came out.

Verified result
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.

Evidence is graded, not blended. A verified result is a named athlete with a measurable outcome and an external result link. A named result has the outcome but no public link. An athlete comment is opinion with no measured outcome, and is shown at lower weight on purpose.
