Oh my, I've become a running w*nker - FINAL

After three other blog posts and a bunch of days I've finally reached what I think, is a useable solution, and actually full circle to where this journey started!

Fulcra Dynamics, which automatically syncs all the health data from Apple Health iOS.  Including segments, HR, biometrics.

My data flow is now:

Apple watch recording the session.  This is automatically sync'd to Fulcra.  Using the modified MCP with Claude I can query the data, and create local cache - which solves the API throttling and large data issues I bumped into using the Fulcra remote MCP.

I'll really put this to the test over the next 6-9 months with some training blocks.

 Following on from https://pregan.blogspot.com/2025/12/oh-my-ive-become-running-wnker.html

The data issues are mostly solved by stopping the automatic Apple Health(Fitness) data connection to Strava and instead use HealthKit(app) which syncs from Health data and then I manually export sessions into Strava.  Clunky! But it gets more detail into Strava.

After working the data part out it became apparent that https://github.com/lyledean1/strava-mcp only pulled (by design) certain data points from Strava.  Missing biometrics.

I went to work extending the MCP using Claude & Co-Pilot - code like this is way above my level.  The power of LLM, of course I'm in control!

This works.  I can get some really great data analysis using the MCP now.

Flow:

Run, record on Apple Fitness app. Healthkit automatically imports that workout. Which I can then import into Strava - that last part is manual. Use any MCP enabled app to query, I'm using Claude.

Not the smoothest but works.

I'm going to go back around and look at the Fulcra route.
