Ochy Named Official Partner of England Athletics to Bring AI-Powered Gait Analysis to Runners Across England

RENNES, France — June 5, 2025 — Ochy, the AI-powered biomechanics platform transforming how runners understand and improve their technique, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with England Athletics, the national governing body for athletics and grassroots running in England.

As part of this collaboration, England Athletics members will gain access to Ochy’s video-based gait analysis technology through the organization’s official channels. In just seconds, and using a simple smartphone video, users will receive a comprehensive and personalized breakdown of their posture, running technique, and areas for improvement.

“We’re excited to partner with England Athletics to democratize access to technology that was once only available in labs or to elite athletes,” said Perrine Chapot, co-founder of Ochy and a biomechanics specialist. “With just a 10-second video, we empower runners of all levels to analyze their form, prevent injuries, and enhance performance using real, actionable data.”

Powerful Technology. Instantly Accessible.

Ochy’s analysis takes under one minute and can be done via smartphone, tablet, or computer. The platform evaluates key biomechanical parameters such as:

  • Quick Video Scan: Upload a short side or back view video taken on the road, treadmill, or track

  • Advanced Biomechanical Analysis: Includes pronation, pelvic tilt, cadence, flight time, and knee alignment

  • Personalized Training Plans: Tailored corrective exercises based on individual form

  • Progress Tracking: Measurable metrics and coach-style insights

  • Education & Empowerment: Clear explanations of each result to help runners take control of their development

A Partnership for the Entire Running Community

With more than 147,000 registered athletes, 1,750 affiliated clubs, and 18,000 licensed coaches and leaders, England Athletics plays a key role in shaping the future of running in the UK.

“This partnership with Ochy reflects our commitment to providing members with modern, practical, data-driven tools,” said Chris Jones, CEO of England Athletics. “We believe it will support improved technique, reduced injuries, and stronger engagement across the running community.”

Together, we’re:

  • Making running smarter and safer by raising awareness around proper form and injury prevention.
  • Supporting coaches and clubs with accessible tools to guide athletes using data.
  • Championing inclusivity by removing barriers to technology and personalized insight.

Founded in 2021 in Rennes, France, Ochy uses artificial intelligence to enhance performance and reduce injury risk for runners around the world. Accessible to everyone, everywhere, Ochy has already earned the trust of thousands of runners, coaches, and international sporting events.

“Since founding Ochy, our co-founder Khaldon has remained injury-free — a testament to the power of combining video analysis with AI.”
