Claude & ChatGPT: View, Edit & Plan Your Training

Don't just view your training. Edit it, plan ahead and personalise your coach.

Connect Claude or ChatGPT to Lactate Training and do more than read your sessions. With an edit-access link, you can ask your AI to create or move future sessions, edit plans and training information, update your questionnaire answers and goals, and change what your coach remembers and how it coaches you.

You can also review your recorded sessions and available Garmin health information, compare training and ask for advice using your own data.

What can I edit?

  • Upcoming training: add, move and edit future sessions, workouts and plans
  • Training records: use supported actions to correct or update your training data
  • Questionnaires and preferences: update responses, goals and training availability
  • Coaching memory: change the details and lessons your coach uses about you
  • Coaching style: adjust how your coach communicates and what to focus on
  • Garmin workouts: request a workout send to your watch, subject to your plan allowance

Read-only is for viewing. Edit access is for taking action. Choose the access level you actually want and keep the private link secure.

A quick overview. Follow the steps below in the app.

Before you start

  • A paid Lactate Training plan. This is included in every paid plan.
  • A compatible Claude or ChatGPT account (any external paid subscription is separate from Lactate Training).
  • This integration requires a paid Lactate Training subscription; it is not included during the free Pro trial.
  • A computer, ideally. It works on a phone, but it's fiddly.

Step by step

  1. In the app, open Settings → Claude and ChatGPT integration. You can also tap Set up on the bell card.
  2. Tap Create read-only link. Read-only means the AI can see your summaries, health, activities and calendar, but can't change anything.
  3. To edit and plan ahead, tap Create edit link. This enables supported actions for future sessions, training records, questionnaires, coaching memory and coaching style. Only use it with AI apps you trust and check any changes in Lactate Training.
  4. Tap Copy link. Send it to yourself if you're switching to a computer, but keep it private.
  5. For Claude: on a computer, go to claude.ai and open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector.
  6. Paste your link.
  7. If asked for a type, pick HTTP or Streamable HTTP.
  8. If asked about sign-in, pick no authentication. Your private key is already inside the link.
  9. Add it, then switch it on.
  10. For ChatGPT: on the web, open Settings → Apps and turn on Developer mode. Then go to Apps → Create, paste the link, scan tools, and create it.
  11. Gemini and other apps work too. The page in Settings has steps for each.
  12. Open a new chat and ask away.

Try this

Try asking Claude or ChatGPT:

  • “Plan next week around my Tuesday and Thursday availability, then add the sessions to my calendar.”
  • “Move Friday's workout to Saturday and adjust the rest of my week.”
  • “Update my questionnaire: I can train five days a week and prefer Fridays off.”
  • “Remember that I prefer a concise, direct coaching style. Update my coaching preferences.”
  • “Show me my recent Garmin health data and use it to explain today's recommendation.”

Where it goes wrong

  • Picking the wrong options during setup. Two choices trip everyone up: pick HTTP / Streamable HTTP (never SSE), and pick no authentication. It feels wrong, but your private key is already in the link.
  • Sharing the link. The link works like a password. Anyone who has it can read your data. Pasted it somewhere by mistake? Go back to the same Settings page and create a new link. The old one stops working.
  • The link expiring. Links show an expiry date on that page. If your AI app suddenly can't see your data, check there. One tap makes a fresh link; paste it in again.
  • Doing it on a phone. It works, but it's fiddly. The app says to do this once on a computer, and it's right.

Check it worked

For edit access, try requesting one small change—such as moving a future workout—and confirm it appears in Lactate Training before relying on bigger edits.

  • Ask about a named week, for example “What did I do last week?”, and check the answer matches your app.
  • With a read-only link, the external AI cannot make changes. With an edit link, verify updates to your calendar, questionnaires, memory and coaching preferences in the Lactate Training app.

Claude’s menus can change. For current Claude setup options, see Claude’s official connector guide.
