Progress worth telling

Behind every review, a goal reached and a relationship of trust built over time.

★★★★★

I can only recommend Patrick's coaching. He really listens to his athletes, and it's a genuine pleasure to train in those conditions. Patrick takes real account of how I feel about my sessions, as well as my physical and mental shape, when he builds my training. The sessions are hugely varied: no two are alike, and that's just brilliant. And of course the training works: I've progressed enormously since I started with Patrick.

Patrick is a wonderful coach. His support is excellent: the sessions he sets are varied, tailored to my goals and my schedule, then readjusted according to my current shape and my feedback. Communication is a pleasure, he listens and he's available. You can really feel his experience, both as a coach and as an athlete, in the advice he gives.

Pat is a coach who genuinely listens, motivating and full of valuable advice. Thanks to his support I've progressed enormously; the sessions are varied and suited to my level and my working life. I recommend him 200%.

In the almost a year that Patrick has coached me, I've felt real progress in my running. His advice and the way he adapts my training to the circumstances have moved me forward while keeping me injury-free. I still get so much pleasure out of running thanks to his ever-varied sessions.

Patrick has been coaching me for almost 4 years now, and I can only recommend him. Through his support I've learned to know myself better, particularly on the technical side, and to understand my body and my capabilities. What I especially appreciate is that he takes real account of our working and personal lives. The training is varied and evolves with our needs. But what matters enormously to me is the human side. He listens, he's kind, and he's always supportive, never piling on pressure. And after almost 4 years, if I'm still here, it's because it works.

The Patrick Renard method

Personalisation at the heart of your programme

I build training around your body, your mind and your life. What makes the difference on race day is rarely one of those three pillars alone. It's the balance between them.

Every runner has a story: an old injury, a packed schedule, a goal that matters. My job is to start from where you are and take you where you want to go.

  • A personalised plan, readjusted to your shape and your life
  • Direct contact by chat, text, phone or video call
  • All levels: from a first trail race to an ultra project
Step by step
01

The starting assessment

A first conversation to lay everything out: your running history, past injuries, your real schedule and the goal that fires you up. That's the foundation for everything else.

02

Your bespoke programme

I build your plan in the app: target paces, volume, elevation, strength work and recovery. Every session has a purpose, and you know what it is.

03

Constant adjustment

Your session feedback feeds the plan: fatigue, how you felt, whatever life throws at you. I adjust continuously so the training fits your life, never the other way round.

04

Race day and after

Race strategy, fuelling, handling the rough patches mentally: we prepare all of it. Then we debrief together to turn every race into a springboard for the next one.

“A friend recommended him, and that's how I discovered personalised coaching with Patrick. For over a year he has put together varied, high-quality sessions for me every week, perfectly aligned with the goals we set together. More than just a coach, he's a genuine co-pilot who takes the whole mental load of planning off my shoulders. His support has unlocked my potential and taken me past levels I thought were out of reach. He's a professional I would recommend with my eyes closed.”

“Five years of coach-athlete partnership with Patrick. What I particularly value in his approach is the perfect balance between chasing performance and protecting your health so you can last year after year. I'll never thank him enough for letting me raise my arms at the Larzac Marathon and follow in his footsteps. Don't hesitate to put your trust in him to reach your own goals.”

Your next goal starts with a message

Let's talk about your project, your constraints and your running dreams. The first conversation is free and commits you to nothing.

Frequently asked questions

Everything people ask me before starting

The questions that come up in every first conversation. I answer them here the way I answer them on the phone.

Is the programme genuinely personalised, and how far does that go?

Everything is personalised. The plan, but also the way I follow you.

I start from four things: your personal life, your work, the goal you're aiming at and the state you're in right now. Two runners preparing for the same race won't get the same plan from me. They don't have the same weeks, the same running past, or the same head.

That's also why the plan moves. A week where everything goes sideways doesn't get made up, it gets rewritten.

Mental preparation gets dedicated support of its own in the Ultra plan.

Is there real follow-up, or just a plan sent over each month?

A reply the same day. That's a rule I hold myself to.

After every key session, I look at what was done and how it went. I give you my feedback. Not an acknowledgement of receipt, real feedback on what the session produced.

There are two moments around a race. Before, we prepare the strategy, the fuelling, how to handle the rough patches. After, we take the time to talk about how it felt, what happened out there and what we take from it for next time. That debrief is part of every bespoke plan.

How available are you once I've signed up?

You can reach me by chat and by text, with no cap on the number of messages, and I reply the same day.

My hours are 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday. And I stay reachable at weekends, especially around races. That's when you most need someone on the end of the line, not when I disappear.
