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.
