We explain how AI Endurance uses ChatGPT to help guide your triathlon, running and cycling training.
ChatGPT is an AI chatbot that is based on the generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) family of large language models (LLMs) from OpenAI. It can perform impressive tasks such as
just to name a few. This article is written by a human, by the way.
We embedded ChatGPT into our existing features for maximal benefit to your training routine. Our aim is to combine the strengths of our own AI models that are very specific to triathlon, running and cycling with the strengths of general LLM such as ChatGPT. Our own AI Endurance models are not language based like ChatGPT but 'number based' AI models. Combining the two approaches gives you as the user the best of both worlds:
A predictive AI to create the optimal personalized training plan and adaptations for you and an encouraging AI coach to gauge your sentiment and guide you through the numbers.
One thing that is hard to analyze in a 'number based model' is your sentiment. Your sentiment in this context can be your general motivation to train, your mental state, or general information about your life and/or training.
During your daily check in you can inform us via the 'How do you feel about exercising today? Tell AI Coach' dialog. ChatGPT is very capable in analyzing your sentiment. We use its verdict when we make decisions if you should go ahead with your training as planned, or if it may be better to skip or modify the workout of the day.
Informing us about your sentiment is particularly useful if it would otherwise be a blind spot for our recovery model. For example, a particular mental state such as 'Work is really stressful right now' may or may not show up in your recovery data. With this feature however, you can always let us know whatever it may be that might be going on at any given time.
Of course your sentiment doesn't have to be negative. You can also let us know if things are going well. The reality is we all have bad days and we want to protect you against training too much or under the wrong circumstances as much as possible.
Example statements you could submit may be
or
There's a lot of data that flows into our personalized recovery model.
The soreness of your different muscle groups for triathlon, running and cycling:
Your cardiovascular recovery:
ChatGPT can give you a comprehensive summary of your recovery parameters and put these in the context of your overall triathlon, running or cycling training plan:
ChatGPT can put the triathlon, running or cycling workout planned for the day into context and explain its benefits:
Similarly, it can explain why a rest day may be a good idea and come up with ideas for active recovery:
This may be the most important one: explain why a training plan modification has been made. To be clear, the decision if and when a training plan adaptation is proposed is based on the numbers. ChatGPT can help put things into context and explain to you why. Ultimately, it's up to you to accept or reject these proposed modifications.
To summarize, at AI Endurance we use our custom numbers based models for triathlon, running and cycling together with a general LLM like ChatGPT for an optimal training experience. ChatGPT's impressive capabilities are already enabling features that would have been hard to imagine just a few months ago. We are just at the beginning of AI revolutionizing the triathlon, running and cycling world.
by Grant Paling. I’m back. It’s been a few weeks and ultimately, a lot of time to process what happened. If you’ve been following my European Age Group Championship adventures, you will know that the triathlon went well. Very well. But let me give you a deeper insight into the race, the mentality I took into it and then in following blogs I’ll reflect on how that performance was achieved using AI Endurance.
Sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated during the cold months with the next race still so far away. We’ll give you a few winter training tips on how to stay motivated and stay fit until it gets warmer outside.
Paris to Ancaster is the biggest gravel grinder bike race in Canada. It’s in 8 weeks and I need to get in shape. AI Endurance can predict race performance and create a training plan which is optimized to my training responses. It predicts that I can increase my FTP by 14% to 293 Watts on race day with just 3.5 hours of training a week.
AI Endurance is a data-driven training platform. In order to maximally benefit from the training and have the program be most personalized to you, you'll want the best possible data to flow into the platform. Here's a few recommendations on how to achieve this.
