Claude + Intervals.icu
Claude as an Intervals.icu coach with real training data
Claude can reason well, but it should not coach from memory or copied screenshots. STAS connects Claude to Intervals.icu so it can review real workouts, current load, fatigue, calendar context, and planning rules before giving advice.
Connect Intervals.icuQuick answer
If your training already lives in Intervals.icu, the best Claude setup is not a long prompt. Connect STAS, let Claude read the prepared training context, then ask focused questions about condition, the next workout, or the current week.
- Intervals.icu stays the training data and calendar source.
- STAS prepares workout history, fitness, fatigue, form, and plan context.
- Claude can explain decisions instead of only generating a static plan.
- When you approve a plan, STAS can write it back to the Intervals.icu calendar.
Why Claude needs Intervals.icu data
A generic Claude answer can sound confident while missing the facts that matter for training.
Recent load matters
The same workout can be fine after an easy week and risky after a heavy block.
The calendar matters
Claude should know what is already planned before it suggests another hard session.
Sport mix matters
Cycling, strength, long runs, and easy days all affect fatigue differently.
Your rules matter
Time limits, race goals, travel, and recovery preferences change the right answer.
