Hi guys I often share my training plan on ChatGpt and ask for opinions, modifications, advice on integration and nutrition.
I must say that he shares 100% of the workouts and often gives me little tips on how to do them best, maybe if I tell him what HRV is or how I feel… a sort of Workout Wizard 
.
Many times I change sessions by moving a Vo2 max 30/30 to a day with Swimming Threshold, this in ATHLETIC does not create any problems but obviously ChatGpt points out to me that it would not be ideal to do on the same day… in short, it goes beyond the load/fatigue algorithm and evaluates the day as a whole.
What experiences do you have in this regard? Do you use it?

That’s an interesting idea to ask Chat GPT about what it thinks of an AI-driven platform!
What feedback has it given that you’ve found useful, @Giuseppe85?
With your specific example, it’s often better to load up the fatigue on a single day, then do an aerobic endurance session the next day.
I’ve never shared my training plan with Chat, though!

He often advised me (and I agree) to make a single discipline harder by combining more stimuli (Treshold and Strength) but for the rest he agrees with everything! Rather, he advised me, for example, to do sessions closer to the Race Pace and race conditions (open water Trail climbs etc)

Interesting!
That seems like it would take a lot of time to upload.

Hello @SimpleEnduranceCoach , you can take a screenshot of the week and upload it to ChatGPT asking what it thinks about it !

I guess that’s easy enough!
Thanks, Giuseppe. Very clear analysis. Here is the technical-practical report of your VO₂max session just done, with focus on adaptation, risk of fatigue and implications for the next 48h.
VO₂max Session Analysis (3x30" + 3’x3 + 4’)
Key data:
Average Intensity (FI): 0.75 → well managed, not off the scale
Load (TSS): 56 → moderate, suitable for a day with low HRV
RPE: 1 (!) → underestimated perception or very controlled session
Power Variability (VI): 1.24 → consistent with interval session
Average HR: 135 bpm (78%), max 170 bpm (98%) → excellent cardiovascular response
W’bal Drop: 5.1 kJ → VO₂max stimulus present but not exhaustive
TRIMP: 88 → moderate physiological impact
Interpretation:
Positive points
The session provided real VO₂max stimulus (3’ @246W > 105% FTP)
Reactive heart rate, a sign that the system is active despite low HRV
Low subjective RPE: a sign that the mind has responded well, and/or there has been recovery from the day before
Good management: no W’ collapse, no HR block, no off-scale peaks
Points to keep an eye on
Power/HR efficiency (1.06) and global efficiency (1.32) → a bit low → symptom of residual systemic fatigue
eFTP of the lap = 180W (much below your real FTP 235W) → physiological after intervals, but confirms that the aerobic system is not at its best today
High HR in relation to average power (143W) → possible combined effect of: VO₂max + not completely restorative sleep + sympathetic hyperactivity morning
Practical conclusions:
You have:
Achieved the stimulus objective
Managed the day very well with low HRV
Avoided unnecessary accumulation of fatigue

That’s a fantastic idea. I have a great experience with Gemini (which you can still use for free in Google’s AI Studio, I think) and it’s huge context window.
You can upload a couple of books alongside the prompt to get better, more tailored advice.
I guess you could upload one or two pdfs with training methodology you want to follow and the feedback would be even better.

Hi, I experiment with it in a similar way. Especially during weeks when I don’t feel well or I’m recovering from an illness. In Chat, I upload a screenshot of my plan for the week, describe my situation, add health stats from Garmin—like stress, sleep, body battery, and HRV—and ask for a plan tailored to my needs. I’m not a racer, so my goals are different, and for now I’m just testing how everything fits together. For example, if I have a 2-hour bike session planned, the Workout Wizard sometimes offers me a 2-hour rowing session (or even longer) or a run of the same length, which seems odd to me, since the effort and muscle engagement are different compared to cycling. So I tend to make these adjustments more through Chat.
