Hi im Brendon.

I'm an ESSA-accredited Sport Scientist and I coach endurance and strength athletes through my practice, Be Sports Science Consulting. I've spent years on both sides of the start line myself, racing Ironman and ultra-trail and training in wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, so I know the work I'm asking of you. That's why I build every program on physiology, mechanics and data, with a clear reason behind each session.
