Great response @monki , that gives food for thought. Going back to when I was coached as a cyclist, my coach used to ride with me every weekend through the off season and give me an FTP test every month. This gave a huge amount of feedback that AI just cannot match. It was expensive but worth it at the time. As a runner I am beyond redemption so having a play with AI is a bit of fun. If I were still working and felt that I had even a modicum of natural talent I would hire a coach again. |

Re the being lazy thing... It's great for saying - I just ran X in Y, if I kept that pace, how long would I run Z in. You can then also say stuff like, there's a hill at mile 19, factor that in, or a 5% fade in the last two miles etc... |

I'm shit and slow and don't care about speed or races, so I wouldn't use chattyG for this, but it's an interesting conversation for those who care about training. I can imagine that just having something for bouncing ideas around is useful, I use it a lot for this kind of thing. It's true that it's good for topics which have a lot of words available online!

Also, it really rocks at pep talks. Never gets bored of telling you how awesome you are, unlike Real People

I asked ChatGPT to write me a plan to get from 25 to 50 miles per week. Once I'd given it strict enough parameters, it came up with pretty much what I would have worked out for myself - but in seconds. I blogged fetcheveryone.com/blog-share.php?id=494997 I also failed to follow it. But that's not its fault. |

I’ve used ChatGPT a few times to help motivate me to actually do a session. I’ve also been having an ongoing conversation recently about food, diet and perimenopause - which has been insightful too (I’m working on the basis that it’s doing the googling for me, rather than me having to sift through x websites to distill the pertinent information) It’s been pretty good at getting me to do stuff, so I’m not complaining. |

That's interesting cath, what kind of prompts did you use to help get out the door?

Chatgpt cannot see you run a session, and suggest what you should be doing rather than what you think you should be doing.

I'm interested in who ChattyG might be. Should I be looking for a long lost relation?! G
