Plus50Fit: Running Strong After 50

The Plus50Fit AI Running Coach Experiment

At 67, I’m testing whether ChatGPT can work as an ongoing running coach rather than simply produce another generic training plan.

The experiment connects each workout prescription to what actually happened: Garmin FIT data, heart rate, pace, cadence, effort, weather, sleep, discomfort and the things a watch can’t know. I then use that complete picture to assess the run and shape the next decision.

I’m documenting the useful parts, the mistakes, the questionable readings and the course corrections as I train for the BlackToe Holiday 10K and continue along my Road to 70.

Plus50Fit is still about running strong after 50. The difference is that this experiment now gives the training, recovery, strength and longevity work a clearer thread to follow.
