Tell ChatGPT or Claude what you're training for, and your plan lands in PB-Runner, where it can play as guided sessions on your watch or phone. Now in both official directories: a plugin in ChatGPT and a connector in Claude. A free account works on either. - Record runs on Apple Watch (standalone, phone left at home) or on iPhone. - Garmin Support with PB-Runner ConnectIQ app - Detailed run breakdowns, route maps, and splits. - Create custom training schedules with AI you can follow on your wrist/phone with audio and haptic cues. - Recovery context from Apple Health (resting heart rate, sleep, HRV, VO2max). - An analytics dashboard on the web at pb-runner.com. - Share your run with a built-in editor for sharing your runs โ€” stats over the map or your photo, dragged into place and styled to match. Bring your own AI: connect an AI you already use - ChatGPT, Claude or another - to your own training data and build your Athlete Profile so it can analyse your runs and help plan your sessions based on the athlete you are, not a generic runner in an age group. PB-Runner is the connector; the AI is your own separate account, and the app works fully without it. PB-Runner is free to download. Recording every run, your history and stats, exporting your data, and your AI reading your training and saving a plan all work with no subscription. Your first training block plays in full as guided sessions, with no card needed. After it, guided sessions and Custom Runs require a subscription: PB-Runner Monthly or PB-Runner Yearly, billed to your Apple Account. A subscription renews automatically until you cancel it, at least 24 hours before renewal, in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://pb-runner.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://pb-runner.com/privacy Privacy: your health and location data is used only to run the features you use, never for advertising, and never sold. It is only shared with an AI when you explicitly choose to connect one.

Leo Training

Why do you train? For the silence at 6 AM? To feel something other than your screen? Because the mountains don't care about your job title? Whatever your reason, Leo coaches around it. Leo is your endurance coach: running first, on road and trail, plus triathlon, duathlon or cycling when your goal asks for it. He reads your real training, remembers every conversation and adjusts your plan week after week. No charts to decode: you just talk to Leo. A REAL PLAN, BUILT ON YOUR TRAINING 5K, marathon, ultra trail, your first triathlon or a cycling block: tell Leo the goal and he builds a periodized plan from your current level, read straight from your history (paces, weekly volume, longest outing). Real structured sessions: intervals, tempo, long runs, hills, threshold rides, swims, recovery. And he's honest: he tells you if the goal is realistic and what it would take, without capping your ambition. HE KNOWS YOUR BODY Leo asks how your legs feel, how you slept, whether that knee is still tight, and turns it into decisions. He watches your load week by week and speaks up before a breakdown does. Not with jargon, but with "take tomorrow off." GROUNDED IN SCIENCE More than 400 scientific papers and guidelines behind his advice: periodization, physiology, nutrition, recovery, injury prevention, trail, multisport. Leo doesn't recite research, he applies it to you, and he remembers that your calf acts up after heavy weeks. MORE THAN A PLAN: A WORLD TO PLAY IN From your real training, Leo reveals your athlete character across 11 dimensions: endurance, speed, mountain sense, consistency and more. Not a quiz: who you actually are. Join a pack, chase quests and follow your crew's expedition across the map. WHERE YOU ALREADY ARE Connect Strava, Suunto, Polar or Coros. Talk to Leo in the app, on Telegram, or right inside ChatGPT and Claude. He also tracks your shoe mileage and projects your race times, adjusted for elevation. SUBSCRIPTION Leo Training is a subscription (monthly, quarterly or yearly), managed in your App Store account. Any free trial available is shown before you confirm. Cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://leotraining.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://leotraining.app/privacy Made in the Alps.
