Hi there! I am new to this community and to Claude. I have been using ChatGPT (very manually) to help with macros, running plans and triathlon training but am planning to switch over to Claude to take advantage of some of these tools! I have a garmin and strava. Feeling a little overwhelmed with where to start though so would love some advice!

I just made an insta post about this topic and wanted to share here as well. I’m working on the next phase of the 7 day challenge, the advanced version. With it, we will actually be giving our Athlete OS a living changing brain that we can use to draw actual insights from. I teased it on insta and below is the guide I mention if you see it: https://www.skool.com/athlete-ai-community/classroom/c89bd042?md=b455b0626d174604b15d03aec1924dae Tomorrow, I’ll release the full video and training module on it exclusively in here! Ran out of steam tonight lol. Pumped to get everyone’s feedback, this is truly game changing stuff.

(works with any AI you use) Like many of you I wanted my Garmin recovery data (sleep, HRV, resting HR, body battery) going into my AI coach — it's the data Strava can't give you, and for me it changed the conversation from "how far did you run" to "why was your Wednesday night 4.5 hours of sleep." Before running the setup from the classroom guide, I did what the guide itself kind of teaches us: I asked my AI to review it first — and then to red-team the result. A proper adversarial security review. It found real things worth fixing before I'd type my Garmin password anywhere. So we rebuilt it, audited it, and I'm sharing the result so you don't have to choose between your data and your peace of mind. Same idea, same open-source library (python-garminconnect), one script — but hardened: - Read-only, and provably local. The only network connection is to Garmin. No upload endpoints, no analytics. The script is ~350 lines — you (or your AI) can read every one. - Your password is typed once, hidden, never stored — not in files, not in environment variables, not in your shell history. The script even refuses to run in terminals that can't hide your password. - Your login token never gets printed and is saved with locked-down permissions. (A printed token = a year of account access sitting in your terminal scrollback.) - Dependencies pinned to exact versions, so a compromised future release of some library can't silently install itself on your machine. - Smarter failure behavior: if the network is down, it tells you it's the network — so you never get trained into re-typing your password "just in case." That habit is exactly what phishing lives on. What you get: a garmin/ folder of clean markdown notes — one wellness note per day, one per workout, plus a data.json. Point your AI coach at it and every morning it knows how you slept before it tells you what to do. Setup: unzip, follow the README. Five minutes, Windows and Mac covered, including how to schedule it to run automatically every morning (with catch-up for days your machine was off). The only thing you ever type is your Garmin login, once.

@Edgar Higham - following up from our conversation last night, I took a stab at putting together a Claude skill that turns YOUR real training philosophy into a Claude skill you hand to your athletes. They talk to it, it answers the way you'd answer. Two ways to build it: 1)it pulls your actual words from your content (grabs the real transcripts off your YouTube, plus your newsletter, blog, etc), or 2) it walks you through a questionnaire, or both. I tried to emphasize the parts where a coaches input would be invaluable: Athlete says "sharp knee pain but my race is in 3 weeks, push through?" - it stops and tells them to text you. Injury, anything medical, changing the goal race - all routes back to the coach. It scales your voice, it doesn't practice medicine in your name nor does it alter plans without your approval. This skill itself is actually meant to output a unique skill to each coach. So give it a shot and let me know your thoughts. Full guide and setup here: https://www.skool.com/athlete-ai-community/classroom/c89bd042?md=5ad531528c08497f9523fc19d97ba71d Anyone other coaches, take a shot at creating your own coach skill with this and let the squad know how it works! Have a great weekend team! Some big stuff coming this weekend and early next week!
