I got tired of paying €20/month for running apps that still feel generic, so I tried something different: I used ChatGPT as my running coach—and honestly, it beat every paid app I’ve used. In this video I walk you through how I build a smarter, more personal plan using AI, based on my real training data and the way I actually run: training by feel, staying consistent, and keeping the body durable for trail miles. I show you how to pull your data from whatever you’re using (Suunto, Garmin, Strava, Coros—doesn’t matter), then feed it into ChatGPT with the right prompts so it can generate a complete plan: running sessions, strength work, and mobility. I also layer in recovery, nutrition, and practical guardrails so the plan stays realistic and adaptable—because trail life isn’t a perfect spreadsheet. If you want to copy-paste what I use, I’ve shared my prompt guide and my Notion tracker so you can build your own plan today and keep it evolving week to week.
