Ultramarathon coach — 50K to 100-mile.
Ultras reward patience and punish ego. Online 1:1 coaching built around aerobic capacity, fueling discipline, and time-on-feet. From first 50K to Western States qualifier.
What the coaching looks like.
Aerobic capacity first
Z2 discipline for the first 12 weeks. We build the engine before we touch intensity.
Fueling rehearsed
Gut training is non-negotiable. We rehearse race nutrition on every long run, every weekend.
Race-day strategy
Pacing, aid stations, drop bags, crew plan, night running — all decided before race week.
What you get.
- Back-to-back long runs progressed off real recovery data.
- Hill power-walking sequenced for course-specific demands.
- Strength training to protect knees, hips, and back for the late hours.
- Race-week and race-day plans rehearsed in week 18+.
- Direct messaging access — same coach, every week.
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 ultra entered — 50K to 100 miles — and a finish or a placing you care about.
- You can build to 8 to 15 hours a week including back-to-back long days.
- You want fuelling, hiking, night running and crew logistics coached, not just mileage prescribed.
This is not for you if
- You have not yet run a marathon. Coaching an ultra before you have finished a road marathon is generally the wrong sequence and I will tell you so on the call.
- You want a mileage number to hit each week. That is a plan, and it costs a one-off $45 to $200.
- Your race is a specific technical mountain course and you want someone who has raced it. I coach ultras remotely and I have not raced every course — ask on the call before you buy.

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 ultramarathon?
24–32 weeks for a 50K or 50-miler off a marathon base. 32–52 weeks for 100K+ if you're new to ultra. We build aerobic capacity, fat oxidation, and time-on-feet — in that order.
Do I need to run high mileage?
Less than you'd think. Time-on-feet and back-to-back long runs matter more than weekly miles. Most 50-mile athletes thrive at 55–70 mpw with one big weekend.
How is ultra coaching different from marathon coaching?
Fueling and time-on-feet replace pace as the metric that matters. We coach Z2 discipline, gut training, hiking power-walks, and night-running practice for events that cross sunset.
How much does ultra coaching cost?
Performance $350/4wk or Elite $750/4wk (capped at 4 athletes). Ultras need the deeper coaching tier from week 1.

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
- Cancel within 14 days of your first payment and the first cycle is refunded in full. After that, cycles already started are not refunded because the plan for those weeks has been written and delivered; cancel before a new cycle is published and that cycle is refunded in full.
- Your first week
- Week one is onboarding: you complete your athlete intake, connect your devices and share your history, races and schedule. Your first training block is built from that, not from a template.
- Injury, illness and time off
- Coaching keeps going and billing continues — the plan adapts instead. If you get injured or sick, I rewrite your weeks into a return-to-training or reduced plan around what you can safely do, so you come back without losing the thread.
- Price changes
- Your rate is fixed for as long as you stay coached continuously. Published prices only apply to new athletes.
Your first ultra — coached, not guessed.
