RenfoPilote

Your strength coach, built for running

RenfoPilote builds your strength program around your real life, then adjusts it after every session based on how you felt.

PURCHASE REQUIRED: access to programs, sessions and videos requires a RenfoPilote Essential subscription (7-day free trial) or the one-time RenfoPilote Lifetime purchase. Pricing and terms at the end of this description.

WHY STRENGTH TRAINING WHEN YOU RUN

Boost your performance. A stronger runner spends less energy on every stride: that is running economy, the best-evidenced effect of strength training. Stronger legs mean more speed for the same effort, on the road as on the trail.

Manage your load. Most running niggles come from a badly judged load: too much, too fast, too soon. RenfoPilote moves you forward at the right pace, adjusts every session to how you felt, and knows when not to load. That is what real prevention looks like.

HOW IT WORKS

You answer a few questions: the equipment you have (gym, home, nothing at all), how many strength days you want each week, from 1 to 7, how long your sessions should be, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, and your level, beginner, intermediate or advanced.

As soon as your subscription or free trial starts, your 30-day program is generated, session by session, in a calendar. Every exercise is video-guided, with its sets, its reps, its rest times and its intensity.

After each session, you say how it went. Too hard, too easy, a niggle, no time: the rest of the program adjusts itself. That is where RenfoPilote parts ways with a fixed plan.

After 30 days, you choose: carry on, switch to a different program, or drop exercises from it. What you reported along the way is carried over.
