TrainingPeaks is where a lot of runners, cyclists and triathletes keep their plan. With a coach behind it, it works well. Without one, you decide what goes in the calendar, and a bought plan doesn't know your FTP is out of date or that your Thursday has gone. Athmex lets ChatGPT or Claude step into that coaching role.
TrainingPeaks and ChatGPT or Claude, side by side
A free TrainingPeaks account lets you log workouts, sync devices, follow training plans and work with a coach. Premium adds advanced analytics and more flexible calendar editing. Structured workouts can sync to compatible devices and guide you through each session.
ChatGPT and Claude can make the calls a coach would: which sessions matter this week, what to drop when work gets in the way, when a threshold needs retesting. On their own they need every number typed in. With Athmex they already know your races and the date each threshold was set.

The same question, three ways
Take Chris, a hypothetical triathlete ten weeks out from a 70.3. His FTP is 245 W, his run threshold is 4:40/km and his swim CSS is 1:48 per 100 m. A work trip has just wiped out Tuesday to Thursday. He asks: which sessions do I keep?
Chris asked the same thing each time. The answer he could act on came from the assistant that knew his race and his thresholds.
You, your fitness and your activity, in one conversation
For a self-coached athlete, the full picture is your race calendar, your FTP, run threshold and swim pace with their dates, and the sessions you've actually completed. Athmex keeps the first two ready for ChatGPT or Claude. Your sessions stay in TrainingPeaks and on your devices, and Athmex shows you the best available way to bring them into the conversation.

Common questions
Is TrainingPeaks better than ChatGPT for triathlon?
TrainingPeaks is excellent for logging, analysis and following a plan. If you coach yourself, ChatGPT or Claude with Athmex fills the coaching gap: it plans your weeks from your races and thresholds and adjusts them with you.
Can ChatGPT plan my TrainingPeaks calendar?
It can plan your weeks and explain every session. With Athmex it starts from your races and thresholds. You then add the sessions to your TrainingPeaks calendar yourself.
Does Athmex coach me?
No. Athmex keeps your athlete context ready and gives no training advice. ChatGPT or Claude does the coaching.
How does the free trial work?
