Guide · 7Running in Claude

Connect 7Running to Claude.

Once connected, you write your request to Claude and it saves it in your 7Running account: a plan built by hand, or a session changed in your coach plan. You add it once, from a computer.

Add 7Running to Claude

Claude opens with the name and address already filled in. You check, then confirm.

Or paste this address into Claude: https://7running.coach/mcp/plan

What you need

• A Claude account. The free plan allows one custom connector.
• A 7Running account. Drafts are free, activating a plan takes the Club.
• ChatGPT: coming soon

On a computer · Six steps, once.

1. Open the connector dialog in Claude. Easiest: the “Add 7Running to Claude” button. By hand: in Claude, Customize, then Connectors, then “+ Add” and “Add custom connector”.
2. Check the name and address, then “Add”. Name: 7Running. Address: https://7running.coach/mcp/plan. Keep the connection settings Claude suggests; depending on your account, it goes through “Continue” before “Add”.
3. Click “Connect” next to 7Running. 7Running shows up in your connectors with a “Custom” label. If Claude sends you straight to 7Running, go to the next step.
4. On 7Running, click “Allow”. Sign in to your 7Running account if asked. On claude.ai the page opens in the same tab; with the Claude desktop app, in your browser. You then land back in Claude, with 7Running connected.
5. In a chat, turn 7Running on and ask. The “+” button in the message box, then Connectors: the 7Running toggle must be on. Before writing to your plan, Claude may ask for permission; “Always allow” saves you from giving it every time.
6. Your plan is waiting as a draft in 7Running. Claude gives you the link. You also find it in the 7Running menu, under Training, marked “draft”. You review and edit it like a plan built by hand. When it suits you: “Activate plan”. Without the Club, the draft stays in your account and this button opens the Club offer.

On your phone. Add 7Running from a computer, on claude.ai or in the Claude desktop app. It is then available in the Claude app on your phone. Claude also offers adding from the phone, still in beta: the computer remains the safest path.

Requests to copy.

Write the way you talk. Claude reads your account before acting: it knows your paces and your plans.

Do it all by hand

Claude builds the plan, you stay in control.

• “Build me a 10K plan over 8 weeks, 3 runs a week, I ride my bike on Wednesdays. Save it in 7Running.”
• “Prepare a plan for a half marathon on March 7: 4 runs a week, long run on Sunday, a lighter week every four weeks.”
• “In my hand-built plan, add 6 strides at the end of Friday's easy run, every week.”

Change a session of your coach plan

One session at a time, in the current, previous or next week.

• “Can you see my current plan? What do I have this week?”
• “Move my long run to Sunday.”
• “Replace Thursday with a 40 min easy jog.”
• “Put back the session the coach planned on Tuesday.”

Adapt your week

You give the constraint, Claude changes the sessions involved.

• “I can't run on Wednesday this week, move the session to Thursday.”
• “I'm travelling on Saturday: make it a rest day.”
• “Busy week at work: turn Thursday's intervals into 45 min of easy running.”

What Claude can do in 7Running

• Plans built by hand. It creates them, rewrites them and changes their sessions. A new plan arrives as a draft.
• Coach plans. It changes one session at a time, in the current, previous or next week, as you can in the app. Never a session already done, never a race day.
• Paces. The ones in “My paces”. If you have none yet, Claude asks for your VO2max speed or a recent race time.
• Activation. With the Club, when you ask for it. Two active plans at most.
• What it doesn't do. It doesn't create coach plans. A plan made by Claude doesn't adapt by itself every week: it is a plan built by hand.
