Use your training data with ChatGPT or Claude

An AI assistant can only use the training data you provide or give it access to. Before asking about your progress, check which data is available and which service is supplying it.

Choose a question first

Try “How do these two sessions compare?” or “What changed in my training this month?” A clear question makes it easier to check whether the answer is useful.

Choose the connection you trust

Use the instructions published by the data provider and your AI service. Strava has an official connector route for supported assistants. Lactate Training offers its own connection features; ask us for the current setup route if you cannot find it in the app.

Check before you approve access

• Which account is being connected?
• Which data can it read?
• Can it change anything?
• How do you disconnect it?

Read the answer critically

Ask which sessions and dates it used. Check any claim about your goal against your own record. An answer based on a short export may not include your whole training history.

Where does MCP fit?

MCP is a connection method. It lets an AI assistant work with tools and information you give it access to. It does not make every assistant, account or server compatible. Availability and permissions depend on the service you use.
