STORIES FROM OUR RUNNERS

It goes far beyond
the finish line.

Health, confidence, balance. Every milestone has a meaning. Every person has a story worth telling.

Savile Frota Camilo

A FRESH START. A FIRST HALF MARATHON.

26 kg lost · preparing for a first half

“Plauto’s close support makes all the difference.”

Savile Frota Camilo

A real estate agent who lost 26 kg during a journey combining medical treatment, walking, running and coaching. Now preparing for his first half marathon.

Read the full story (Portuguese)

Sou Savile Frota Camilo, tenho 40 anos e sou corretor de imóveis. Em março de 2025, eu pesava 118 kg e comecei mais uma tentativa de emagrecimento. Depois de dois meses de tratamento, estava emagrecendo pouco, mesmo com a medicação. Então, minha médica sugeriu aumentar a frequência das atividades físicas, principalmente as aeróbicas.

Um amigo também estava nesse processo e começando a caminhar e correr na Beira-Mar. Começamos juntos e pegamos gosto. O Plauto, que é um amigo em comum, passou a nos assessorar. Aos poucos, fomos evoluindo no emagrecimento, na corrida e no preparo físico.

Tem sido uma grande experiência. O acompanhamento tão próximo do Plauto é o grande diferencial e contribuiu muito para o êxito do meu processo. Hoje, já perdi 26 kg e estou me preparando para a minha primeira meia maratona.

RUNNING WITH A BUSY SCHEDULE

Three children, work and college

“Without extreme pressure, I gradually improved.”

Cândida

Between raising three children, working and attending college, she wanted to care for herself without fear of injury. With Plauto since 2020, she progressed gradually and joined Brazil’s ultramarathon team in 2025.

Read the full story (Portuguese)

Acho que os filhos sonham em ser como os pais. E foi assim que tudo começou. Meu pai sempre amou esportes e me levava aonde ia. Foi aí que nasceu a minha paixão. Em momentos difíceis da vida dele, encontrou na caminhada um refúgio, e eu o acompanhava.

O tempo passou e, já na vida adulta, usei a mesma estratégia. Em 2018, comecei a caminhar sozinha, do trabalho para casa. A cada dia, crescia a paixão por caminhar, trotar e correr.

Em 2019, conheci pessoas que corriam. Estar perto de quem compartilhava essa escolha aumentava ainda mais o meu interesse. Naquele mesmo ano, minha irmã me convidou para correr pela nossa comunidade nos jogos comunitários. Eu fui, ainda sem conhecer muito daquele universo.

Queria melhorar e ir mais longe, mas não sabia o que fazer nem por onde começar. Não queria nada que me impusesse pressão, pois a corrida, para mim, já era uma forma de aliviar o peso do dia a dia.

Perguntei a um amigo se ele poderia me indicar um profissional que não fizesse tantas cobranças e me deixasse fluir. Foi quando, em um dia abençoado de setembro de 2020, um grande amigo, Massiano Ladislau, me apresentou ao Plauto Holanda. Um cara incrível, um profissional extraordinário e, como costumo dizer, “não é só um treinador, mas um amigo treinador”.

Hoje, posso dizer que começamos do zero. Eu não sabia nada de corrida. Era uma mãe de três filhos pequenos, trabalhadora, estudante de faculdade, dona de casa e cheia de afazeres. Mas sabia que precisava cuidar de mim para enfrentar os outros obstáculos.

Queria melhorar a saúde e a maneira de correr. Tinha medo de me machucar e de competir. Na verdade, minha meta não era ser melhor do que ninguém, mas superar a mim mesma. E o Plauto veio como uma luva: conversamos e começamos a trabalhar juntos.

Nessa jornada, sempre fui dedicada e confiante. Sempre acreditei que ele fazia — e faz — o melhor. Sem cobranças extremas, fui crescendo aos poucos. Veio o primeiro pódio, e eu estava muito feliz, porque a corrida me trazia, e ainda me traz, paz.

O tempo passou e, nessa jornada, já são 88 troféus e muitas medalhas. O mais importante é que sou feliz e faço tudo isso por amor. Tenho ao meu lado um profissional que não é apenas um prescritor de planilhas, mas alguém que usa todo o seu conhecimento para ver o outro crescer no esporte e na vida.

E tem mais: juntos, chegamos à seleção brasileira de ultramaratona em 18 de outubro de 2025. Um sonho realizado depois de cinco anos de parceria, construído com muita ajuda, muitos treinos e muitas passadas na noite escura, em várias pistas. Com aceitação, compreensão e amor da minha família, além de muitas renúncias, mas sem tanto sofrimento.

Pude participar do maior evento de corrida de longa distância do mundo e devo tudo isso a Deus, ao meu esposo, aos meus filhos, à minha família, ao meu amigo Mama e ao meu grande amigo e treinador Plauto Holanda.

Termino dizendo que corro para ser feliz.

BALANCE WITH EVERY STEP

With Plauto since 2018

“Running doesn’t just change our performance. It changes who we are.”

Alanna Kecya

With Plauto since 2018, Alanna found a refuge in running to cope with anxiety and face her fears.

Read the full story (Portuguese)

Há parcerias que vão muito além do esporte. A minha com o Plauto Holanda começou em 2018 e, desde então, a corrida deixou de ser apenas um treino. Ela se tornou um estilo de vida e uma das maiores ferramentas de transformação que já conheci.

Foram anos de longas horas de treinamento, desafios, superação e muita disciplina. A cada quilômetro percorrido, fui construindo uma versão mais forte de mim mesma — não apenas fisicamente, mas, principalmente, mental e emocionalmente.

A corrida me ensinou a ser firme quando tudo parecia difícil, a manter o foco diante dos obstáculos e a entender que grandes conquistas são resultado de constância e disciplina. Ela me fortaleceu, me deu coragem e me mostrou que sou capaz de ir muito além do que imaginava.

Em muitos momentos, a corrida foi o meu refúgio. Ela acalmou a ansiedade, me ajudou a enfrentar os meus medos e me devolveu equilíbrio. Cada treino era uma oportunidade de reorganizar a mente, fortalecer o corpo e seguir em frente com mais leveza.

Hoje, posso dizer que a corrida transformou a Alanna! Transformou meu corpo, minha mente, minhas emoções e a forma como enfrento a vida. Sou uma pessoa mais centrada, mais decidida, mais resiliente e muito mais consciente da força que existe dentro de mim.

Sou profundamente grata por essa caminhada ao lado do Plauto: mais do que um treinador, um amigo! Ele fez parte de um processo de transformação que levarei para sempre. Porque, no fim das contas, a corrida não muda apenas o nosso desempenho. Ela muda quem nós somos.

Obrigada!

ASK AWAY

Let’s answer
your questions.

If you still have questions, let’s talk.

Chat on WhatsApp
Who prepares my training?

Plauto himself. He prepares your individual training and makes weekly adjustments. You contact him directly about your training on WhatsApp, Monday to Friday during business hours and Saturday mornings. The team handles enrollment and helps you get started in the app.

Is the coaching in-person or online?

100% online. We coach athletes all over Brazil and around the world (we have athletes in Portugal, for example). Physical distance changes nothing about the method: individualized planning, week-by-week adjustments and close contact, wherever you run.

I've never run / I'm a beginner. Can I join?

Yes, and you're welcome. Plauto specializes in ultramarathons, but the foundation is always the same: health comes first. The depth of someone who trains athletes for 100 km is exactly what makes it possible to progress a beginner with precision, without skipping steps.

How do I receive my workouts? Do I need a GPS watch?

Your training plan is delivered through our own app, available on the App Store and Google Play, and our team helps with your first login. It syncs with most watches, including Apple, Garmin and COROS, and with Strava. You do not need a GPS watch to start: Plauto explains how to follow your training with the tools you have.

How does the 30-day guarantee work?

With quarterly, semi-annual and annual plans, if you are not satisfied and cancel within 30 days, you pay only the monthly equivalent (R$ 239) and receive the rest back. The monthly plan already covers this period and is not eligible for this refund.

Can I pause my plan?

If a serious injury or major unexpected event comes up, talk to us so we can assess your situation. Plans run continuously and do not include automatic pauses; exceptional circumstances are reviewed individually.

Are trail and ultra included?

Yes, they're part of every plan. There's no separate plan per discipline: each athlete has their own goal, whether it's a 5k, a marathon, trail or ultra, and we build the path there, together.

How do payments work? Can I pay in installments?

You can pay by PIX, bank slip or credit card, in a single payment. Longer plans offer a lower monthly equivalent, with the total paid on enrollment. If you prefer a smaller initial commitment, you can start with the monthly plan.

When do I start training?

Within 24h of signing up. If you sign up on a weekend or holiday, your training arrives on the next business day.
