I was getting feedback on a recent run where I started doing strides as part of my rehab running plan provided by Claude and Claude got the pace completely wrong when he analyzed the info from intervals.icu. When I pushed back on the results I was told that Claude can go pick up the entire .fit file that Garmin sends to intervals.icu and rather analyze that. I was not aware of the fact the Garmin pushes the entire .fit file to intervals.icu, and after telling Claude to go analyze that, all the info came back a lot more accurate and helpful.

My question besides just telling Claude to just do it every time, is what would be a clever prompt to give Claude to always go get the actual .fit file from intervals.icu and always analyze that instead of making it's own assumptions based on the training it suggested?

Another trap I fell in was that Claude gets stuck on something written in one of your files and then makes training advice mistakes. I have learned to question the training it provides if it does not make sense. I have two 10km races coming up, but they are just training runs with water tables as I am not allowed to race yet. Claude had it stuck in it's mind that they were "races" (even after correcting him a few times) and was lowering my mileage and gym work to recover from the "races". Now that I finally have it firmly imbedded in my athlete profile that there is no difference between these two runs and a normal 10km I would be running, Claude has changed strategy and is giving me proper advice.

Just food for thought and hopefully someone can give me a clever prompt to tell Claude to use those .fit files.

Thanks all!!!
