@Wen I've used the Garmin app training plans with some success but having the awareness to say "no, not doing that" is essential with these things. AI does not know better than you do what you're capable of and if your knee/ankle/calf/hip/hamstring/Achilles - I remember Strava punting a free trial of their premium features and found the "AI insights" thing utterly moronic.

@piglet The problem that I see is that for a few, ‘what the computer says goes’ seems to be their guiding principle. Common sense appear to be lacking in some. But I will stick to running comfortably and to my limits (sometimes) - with pasta and bananas as familiar pre run (long ones anyway) grub. I have never seen the need for a ‘personal trainer’ - automate or otherwise. But then I am simply a decent runner rather than someone aspiring to ‘professional’ standards….
