How to Connect Your Watch to Claude.ai for AI Running Coaching
Claude.ai can reason well, but it does not see your watch data on its own. STAS connects Intervals.icu, your workouts, and your calendar so Claude can coach from real training context instead of guesses.
Connect for freeWhy plain Claude.ai is not enough
You can paste a few workouts into Claude and get thoughtful feedback, but the coaching stays shallow. Claude does not know your training history, your current load, your recent fatigue, or what is already in your calendar unless you retell it every time.
That leaves you doing too much manual explaining, with too much room for missed details, and too many generic answers when what you really need is coaching built around your own training data.
The simple setup
STAS bridges the gap between your watch and Claude.ai. Your workouts flow into Intervals.icu, STAS pulls together the right context, and Claude can then analyze recent training, explain current fitness, rewrite the week, or write a plan back to the calendar.
How to set it up
Connect your watch to Intervals.icu
Garmin, COROS, Polar, and Suunto connect directly. Apple Watch uses HealthFit or RunGap. Amazfit can sync through the Zepp route.
Sign in at stas.run
Log in with Intervals.icu. STAS will connect your workouts, history, and current metrics automatically.
Add STAS in Claude.ai
Open your profile, find the Claude.ai card, copy the STAS URL, and add it in Claude as a custom connector.
Start with a direct request
That is already enough to get going. Ask Claude about current fitness, recent workouts, a new week, a rewrite of the existing plan, or a calendar update.
What data sources work
If your watch data already lands in Intervals.icu, you can start from there. Profile, goals, rules, and reports can be added later if you want more precise coaching.
Good first prompts for Claude.ai
These are better than vague requests like “be my coach.”
The more direct you are about the time period and the action you want, the better Claude performs.
