Science and experience

I'm Cinthia, a certified coach with a specialization in running biomechanics. But above all, I'm a runner, marathoner and triathlete. Everything I teach my athletes, I've felt first-hand over my many years as an amateur athlete.

“The Challenge structure was key to helping me run my first 10 km and to deciding to start individual coaching.”

Renan has completed several half marathons and is now starting his build toward his first marathon.

“I did several Challenges and hit every one of my goals. It was a really positive experience, I made lots of friends, the atmosphere is contagious, and today I'm an individual coaching athlete. Highly recommend!”
Roberta BukowskiIndividual
“I tried running on my own but couldn't get any real results. So I'd give up, even though I really wanted to run.”
Jaqueline MoreiraChallenge
“I highly recommend Cinthia's Challenge. Every week was a new challenge for me, a new distance, a new time, and it really motivated me to run 3 times a week.”
Camila BotelhoChallenge
“I love Cinthia's coaching. Before, I couldn't run at all, and within a month I'm running 4 km non-stop!”

Bruna Reis
“My husband and I are loving the Coach Suenaga Challenge. We didn't think we'd be able to finish, but it's amazing how we keep progressing and improving. Before, I couldn't even last 2 minutes on the treadmill. It's so rewarding!”
