Brendon Villanueva.
BExSpSc · ESSA-Accredited Sport Scientist (AES)
I'm Brendon, the coach behind Be Sports Science Consulting. As an athlete I've raced Ironman and ultra-trail and trained in wrestling and Brazilian jiu-jitsu. I know endurance and power from the inside and what it takes to build both at once.
Today I specialise in endurance and strength training for runners, triathletes and hybrid athletes. I've previously coached strength and conditioning for MMA athletes too. Whatever your sport, I build your training on real physiology: your zones, your load, your recovery. You'll always know the reason behind each session and the plan adjusts as you progress.
A Sport Scientist, not a template.
Coaching with me is hands on. Here's what working together actually gives you.
Testing & true training zones
Blood lactate testing and profiling to set the zones your training actually runs on.
A plan built around you
A program shaped to your goal, your schedule and your physiology, delivered in the Be app.
Reviewed and adjusted weekly
Your week read and reshaped around how you're training and recovering, never left on autopilot.
Your numbers, read by a human
HRV, training load and bloods interpreted by a Sport Scientist, not just logged by an app.
A direct line to your coach
Message me when training or life changes. Real answers from the person writing your plan.
Strategy for your goal event
Pacing, fuelling and taper planned and rehearsed so race day feels like a repeat, not a gamble.
From our first call to race day.
An easy way in, then a partnership that adapts as your training and your life change.
Free intro call
We talk through your goals, your history and what has and hasn't worked. No commitment.
Assessment & testing
Physiological testing and a look at your training data to find your real starting point.
Your first block
I build your program around your physiology, your schedule and your goal, ready in the Be app.
Ongoing coaching
Weekly reviews, adjustments and direct access as your fitness and your goals move.
A coach who's done the work.
The same physiology I train with myself, applied to you.
An ESSA Sport Scientist
Accredited and grounded in evidence. Every decision has physiology behind it, not a hunch.
I train what I coach
Ironman, ultra-trail and strength sport. I know the work because I do it too.
Built on your data
Your zones, your load and your bloods drive the plan, so progress is something you can see.
Questions, answered.
Do I need to be in Sydney?
No. Coaching is one on one and fully online. Your data syncs from your devices and testing is done in the app, so we work together wherever you are.
How is coaching different from just using the Be app?
The app gives you adaptive training on your own. Coaching adds me: I build and adjust your program personally, read your data and bloods and keep you accountable one on one.
What kind of athletes do you coach?
Endurance and strength athletes, mostly runners, triathletes and hybrid athletes, from your first race to competitive.
Do I need lab testing to start?
No. Lactate testing sharpens your zones, but we can begin with your training data and add testing when it helps.
How do we get started?
A free intro call. We talk through your goals and history, then if it's a fit I set you up in the Be app and build your first block.
