Paulo A Silva (Summit Trail Coaching)
Trail & Ultra Running Coach | Endurance Training
Hi, I’m Paulo Silva, trail and ultra running coach based in Portugal.
I help runners prepare for trail races and ultra-distance events through structured, intelligent training that builds endurance, resilience and confidence.
My coaching combines real mountain experience with data-driven training principles.
Since 2014 I’ve been running and racing in the mountains, competing in ultra-distance events up to 100 miles. This experience gives me practical insight into the physical, mental and strategic demands of long races.
To complement that experience, I formalized my knowledge with a Degree in Mountain Running Coaching (UCAM – Universidad Católica de Murcia) and I’m also TrainingPeaks Certified, applying modern endurance training methods to help athletes train smarter and progress safely.
At Summit Trail Coaching, the focus is simple: • build a strong aerobic base • develop specific trail strength • manage training load intelligently • arrive at races confident and prepared
I work especially with runners who want to: • prepare for their first trail race • step up to longer distances and ultras • break through a performance plateau • train with structure and consistency
Coaching is delivered through **Intervals.icu**, with personalized training plans and ongoing feedback.
🏔️ Your goal. Our path.
