Garmin dashboard with Claude: your runs as charts, in one request

What Claude can chart from your Garmin data

Claude charts what the Running Workout connector gives it: your Garmin activities, their lap-by-lap detail and your profile. A list request returns up to 100 activities, with date, type, duration, distance, average and maximum heart rate, average pace, elevation gain and calories when Garmin provides them. An activity's detail adds up to 50 laps. The profile gives your MAS, your maximum heart rate and your training load over 7 and 42 days, with their ratio.

• — Miles per week, and the longest run of each week.
• — Average pace against average heart rate on easy runs, to see whether pace improves at the same effort.
• — The laps of an interval session, rep by rep.
• — The split between running, cycling and swimming, if you do several sports.

What you need

You need a Garmin watch, a Running Workout account linked to Garmin Connect and a Claude account, even without a subscription. According to Anthropic's help center, artifacts are available on every Claude plan, the free plan included, as long as the Create and edit files option is turned on in Claude's settings (Settings, Capabilities). Running Workout is listed in Claude's connector directory, open to all users.

Build the dashboard, step by step

• — Add Running Workout to Claude from the connector directory, and connect your Garmin when Claude sends you to runningworkout.fr.
• — Open a new conversation and describe the dashboard you want: period, sport, charts.
• — Claude reads your activities through Running Workout, period by period if you have more than 100 runs, then builds the artifact.
• — Refine in one sentence: one more curve, another period, miles as bars.

According to Anthropic, an artifact stays private until you share it; sharing is set on claude.ai or in the desktop app.

Keeping the dashboard up to date

The simplest way is to ask again: updating your dashboard with this week's runs makes Claude reread your activities and redraw the artifact. On paid plans (Pro, Max, Ultra, Team, Enterprise), Anthropic says an artifact can connect to the apps linked to Claude, and offers a Dashboards template, in beta, not available on the free plan; these features depend on Claude, not on Running Workout.

From the chart to a workout on your watch

A dashboard is there to decide what comes next, and Claude can send it in the same conversation. If the chart shows three weeks of increase, ask for a lighter week; if it shows pace improving at the same heart rate, ask for Thursday's threshold workout. Running Workout builds it with your paces and puts it in your Garmin Connect calendar. On Running Workout's side, reading your data is unlimited and free; the free plan sends 4 workouts per 30 days to the watch, and Running Workout Pro (€4.90 a month or €35 a year) removes the limit.
