I Let ChatGPT Be My Marathon Coach

I’M DRY-HEAVING while I hang on to the edge of a Citi Bike rack on 59th and 6th, still shaking from the 18-mile run I thought would never end. There’s sweat in my eyes and dread in my soul. In a matter of weeks I'll have to repeat that—plus another 8.2 miles. And right now, I don’t even know if I can hobble the half block home.

It’s been almost four months since I decided to make ChatGPT my full-time New York Marathon coach, and I’m wondering if I've made a huge mistake.
