The coach with a full roster and no admin day
You wrote the block.It writes it down.
You write the block in your head on the drive home. Your assistant turns it into the plan, the week, and the progress report at the end of it.
Sunday night, four panels
You know the block. Now it's on paper.

1 · You ask
ClaudeYou, on the sofa on Sunday
Twelve-week half build for Nadia, target 1:52 at Cape Fear on 13 December. She's coming off a 1:38 pace-per-mile problem (goes out too hard), so easy is 10:15 to 10:45 and I want her honest about it. Five to six days, peak 42 miles, one long and one hard a week.

Claude
Twelve weeks from 21 September, 374 miles across the block, peaking at 42 in week ten with a three-week taper. Zones printed at the top so she can check herself mid-run. Making it now.

3 · The document
Four pages: the zones, then twelve weeks she can put on the fridge.
- Paces at the top, so she can check herself mid-run
- Every week totals itself, so you're not adding up miles on a phone
- Same plan, same shape, for every athlete on the roster

4 · Next month
Next athlete. Same plan, different engine.
Same build for Theo, but he's chasing 1:32 and he can handle six days.
What changed between the two documents Field Was Now Target 1:52:00 1:32:00 Easy pace 10:15 – 10:45 8:20 – 8:50 Peak volume 42 mi 58 mi Everything else — every rule, every margin, every heading — identical.

Certificate
Block completed, program finished, distance run. Landscape, bordered, with a credential number. People put these on a wall, and that's worth more than it sounds.

Progress report
What changed over the block, in the numbers they care about. The thing you hand over at the end that makes the next twelve weeks an easy conversation.

Block plan
The whole build on four pages. Pace zones at the top so they can check themselves mid-run, then every week day by day, each one totalling itself, through the taper to race day.

Waiver
The form a new athlete signs before the first session. It's a form you fill in and your insurer approves. It isn't legal advice, and we don't give any.

The week
One page, seven rows, sent on a Sunday. What the session is, what pace it's at, and what the easy days are actually for, which is the part that keeps an athlete honest.
PDF · Letter
You don't need a key, an account or a card. Your browser calls the live service, which gives each device 10 free PDF pages. After that, an account of your own keeps everything you've made here, or your assistant can make you one. Each of these is a real PDF you can print, sign or send.
Why the grid is the product
Four things a plan has to say, or it will not be followed
Athletes don't read training plans. They glance at them on a Tuesday morning with their shoes on. These four things have to survive that, and the template is designed around them.
The pace, not the effort
"Easy" means nothing at 6am. 10:15 to 10:45 means something. The zone table sits at the top of every plan so they can check themselves mid-run instead of guessing.
What easy is for
A common way for a block to fail is the easy days getting run at steady. So the plan says it in words: you can hold a full conversation, and if you can't, you're running it wrong.
The week's total
Every week adds itself up at the right-hand edge, and the block states its own total. Nobody is summing miles on a phone, and nobody is quietly running 20% more than the plan said.
One hard, one long
Visible at a glance, because the hard session is the only colored row. If an athlete can see the shape of the week in one look, they're more likely to do it.
A real one
Twelve weeks to a half marathon, for someone who goes out too hard
A forty-year-old on her third half, twenty minutes off her March time, with a coach who knows which mistake she's going to make in week nine. The paces are real, the mileage adds up, and the easy days say so in words. Press the button and the PDF is made on the spot. You don't need an account or a key, and there's nothing to install.
There's nothing to install. Your browser calls the live service and a real PDF comes back.

}Connect it in two minutes
There's nothing to install and nothing to log into between sessions. You paste one address into Claude or ChatGPT once. After that you describe the block the way you'd say it out loud, and you get back a PDF you can send before you're out of the car.
Galley's address
https://mcp.galleyrender.com/mcp
Streamable HTTP, with no sign-in, key or OAuth. Your first documents are free. When you want
more, ask your assistant to make you an account. You'll get an email that shows who asked and a
short code, and you confirm it there. Already have a key? The last step in every tab below is
where it goes: a header for Claude Code and Cursor, and, for Claude.ai and ChatGPT, a personal
address plus the link_account tool.
Claude.ai
The web app at claude.ai, and Claude Desktop. Free, Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it once for the organization, then everyone connects to it.
- Open claude.ai →
Customize→Connectors. - Click
+, thenAdd custom connector. - Paste your personal address into the URL field. It's made here, in your browser, and nobody else has it:
https://mcp.galleyrender.com/mcp/c/… - Leave
Advanced settingsalone. That's where an OAuth client id and secret would go, and Galley doesn't need either. - Click
Add. Galley's tools are now in the tools menu of any new chat. - Try it: ask for one of the documents below and watch it approve the tool call.
- Use your key. Claude.ai's connector dialog can't send an HTTP header, so the key goes in through a tool instead. Ask Claude: run link_account with my Galley key. If you'd rather not paste a key into a chat, ask it to run create_account with my email address. An address that already has an account gets a one-time code by email instead of a second account, and
link_accounttakes that code. Check it worked with run whoami. This works because of your personal address: Claude calls Galley from Anthropic's servers, so on the shared address every Claude user looks the same, and that one can't be linked to anybody's account.what to say textRun link_account with this key: glr_sk_… or, with no key to hand: Run create_account with my email, then link_account with the code that arrives.
On Team or Enterprise the first step is an owner's job: Organization settings → Connectors → Add → Custom → Web. Everyone else then finds it under Customize → Connectors and clicks Connect.
Keep your personal address to yourself. Once it's linked, whoever has it is using your account, the same as with a key. Don't paste it into a shared document. If somebody else might have seen it, ask for unlink_account and add Galley again with a new one. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an address an owner adds for the organization is shared by everyone in it.
ChatGPT
The ChatGPT web app. Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education, on the web. ChatGPT's free plan can't add a custom connector. On a free account, use Claude, which can.
- In ChatGPT, open
Settings→Security and loginand turn onDeveloper mode. - Go to chatgpt.com/plugins.
- Click the
+button and create a developer-mode app for a remote MCP server. - Paste your personal address as the server URL. It's made here, in your browser, and nobody else has it:

- Save. Your new app appears under
Drafts. It's yours to use, and nothing is submitted to OpenAI or reviewed by anyone. - In a chat, enable it and ask for a document. ChatGPT asks you to confirm the first time it makes a file. That prompt is normal for any action that writes something.
- Use your key. Leave the authentication fields empty (Galley doesn't use OAuth) and hand the key over with a tool instead: run link_account with my Galley key. No key to hand? Run create_account with my email address. If that address already has an account, we email it a one-time code, and
link_accounttakes the code. Run whoami confirms which account you're on. It works because of your personal address: ChatGPT calls Galley from OpenAI's servers, so on the shared address every ChatGPT user looks the same, and that one can't be linked to anybody's account.what to say textRun link_account with this key: glr_sk_… or, with no key to hand: Run create_account with my email, then link_account with the code that arrives.
Older ChatGPT builds and older help articles call this a connector instead of an app. It's the same thing.
Keep your personal address to yourself. Once it's linked, whoever has it is using your account, the same as with a key. Don't paste it into a shared document. If somebody else might have seen it, ask for unlink_account and add Galley again with a new one. On a Team or Enterprise plan, an address an owner adds for the organization is shared by everyone in it.
Claude Code
The terminal tool. For people who do write code. Any plan that runs Claude Code.
- Add the server.
--scope usermakes it available in every project. Leave it off and it's only added to the current one.terminal bashclaude mcp add --transport http --scope user \ galley https://mcp.galleyrender.com/mcp - Check it:
claude mcp listshould showgalleyconnected. - Ask for a render. The first call with no key mints a trial and hands the token back in the response.
- Use your key. Add it as a header and every call is on your account rather than on the keyless trial. Re-run the add command with
--header; it replaces the entry. Then ask Claude to run whoami — it should sayauthenticated_via: "header".terminal bashclaude mcp add --transport http galley https://mcp.galleyrender.com/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $GALLEY_API_KEY"
Cursor
The editor. Any plan.

Then tell it what to do with the pack
Paste this once — into a Claude Project's instructions, a ChatGPT project, or just the top of a chat. It tells your assistant which document to reach for and, above all, to make the real file rather than typing one out.
This is written for a coach. Paste it once and your assistant knows which document to reach for, what to ask before it makes one, and how to keep every athlete's paperwork in the same shape. It also knows to produce the real file instead of typing a training week into the chat.
Paste into a Claude Project, a ChatGPT project, or a chat text
You help me run the paperwork for my coaching with Galley Render, which
is connected as a tool. Everything you produce comes out of Galley as a
real PDF I can send to an athlete.
Always render the real document with Galley. Never write the plan out in
the chat, never improvise a layout, and never make up a template name. If
you are not sure which one fits, call list_templates and choose from what
comes back.
Which template to use:
- a block, a build, "twelve weeks to the half" -> training-plan
- this week, next week, what they are doing Sunday to Saturday -> weekly-schedule
- a progress report, "show them what changed" -> progress-report
- a waiver, the form before the first session -> waiver
- a certificate for finishing a block or a programme -> certificate
- an invoice for coaching fees -> invoice (the general one; it does
hours times rate, packages and deposits)
Hold these for each athlete and reuse them on every document: their name
and category, my name and my business, and their pace or percentage
zones. Ask once, then stop asking.
Before you render, make sure you have these. Ask for all the missing ones
in one message, then render. Never invent a pace, a distance, a load or a
date.
- training-plan: the goal event and its date, the target time or number,
how many weeks, how many sessions a week they can actually do, peak
volume, and the zones with a pace or a percentage for each.
- weekly-schedule: which week of the block it is, and each day's session
with its pace or load.
- progress-report: the period covered, and the numbers at the start and
at the end. Report what the numbers say; do not editorialise about
their body.
- waiver: the athlete's name, the date, and my business name.
- certificate: whose name goes on it, what they completed, the date, and
who signs.
Two rules about the plan itself. Put the zone table at the top of every
plan, because an athlete checks their pace mid-run and "easy" means
nothing at six in the morning. And let the template total the weeks - do
not add up the mileage yourself, because if we both do it we will
disagree.
Before you use a template for the first time, call get_template and read
its schema - it is free and it tells you what the fields are. If a render
comes back with a validation error, read the field path in the error, fix
that one field and try again. Do not give up and type the week into the
chat.
When a render succeeds, give me the link, tell me which template made it,
and ask whether I want the next document - the first week, or the waiver
if they are new.
Three things you never do. You do not give medical, injury, nutrition or
weight-loss advice, and you do not put any in a document - if I describe
an injury, say that it is for their physician and leave it out of the
plan. You do not tell me what a waiver means legally: it is a form I fill
in and my insurer approves. And you do not invent numbers - if you do not
have a pace, a distance or a date, ask me for it.What it costs one coach
A full block for an athlete, for $5 a month
A block plan, the week sent every week, the progress report at the end and the waiver they signed at the start is everything one athlete needs on paper. Galley counts pages, and that comes to fourteen. The free tier is five, a week of programming, which is enough to see whether an athlete would actually read it. One athlete for real is the $5 plan, which includes 200 pages.
| What you make | Pages |
|---|---|
| A twelve-week block plan | 4 |
| The week, sent every Sunday — one page each, four weeks in the month | 4 |
| A progress report at the end of the block | 3 |
| The waiver a new athlete signs first | 3 |
| Your pages an athlete | 14 |
| Free every month, no card | 5 |
14 of 5 free. A month like this is Solo at $5 per month, with 200 pages included.
Solo
$5 per month
200 pages a month included
One athlete, or a roster of about ten, plans and all, for less than the price of one session.
A roster is where the number matters. Twelve athletes getting a week every Sunday is forty-eight pages a month before you've written a single block plan, and a squad you're building from scratch is closer to a hundred. The $5 plan covers all of it: 200 pages a month is a roster of about fourteen, plans and all, for less than the price of one session.

Before you ask
The questions coaches ask first
Is this a training plan template PDF I can download?
You can do better than a download, and you can try it here with no account. A downloaded training plan template is a fixed grid with somebody else's mileage in it, and the first thing you do is fight the table. This one is made from what you say. Describe the block the way you'd say it out loud (target, weeks, peak volume, how many days they can run) and it comes back as a real PDF with the paces at the top and every week adding itself up.
I searched for a personal trainer invoice. Is that here?
The invoice is in every account, but it isn't designed for coaching specifically. It's the same one a consultant sends, and it handles hours times rate, packages, and a deposit already applied. Ask your assistant for an invoice and it'll use it. What's designed for you is everything before the invoice: the plan, the week, the progress report, the waiver and the certificate.
Does it work for lifting as well as running?
Yes. The plan is a day-by-day grid with a session, a target and a note on each row, so a week of sets and reps at a percentage of one-rep max fits it just as well as a week of miles at a pace. The zone table at the top holds your percentages instead of your paces. Tell your assistant which you're writing and it uses the right labels.
Will every athlete's plan look the same?
The same shape, with different numbers. Twelve athletes get twelve plans that are clearly from the same coach, and you stop re-deciding what a training plan looks like every time somebody signs up. It also makes the progress report at the end of a block mean something, because it's comparing the same things.
Is the waiver legally sound?
It's a form, not advice. The waiver template puts your wording on paper in a consistent shape. What it needs to say for your state, your insurer and your certifying body is between you and them. Neither Galley nor your assistant is telling you what any of it means, and the skill prompt on this page says so twice.
Can I send it from my phone after a session?
That's how most people will use it. Your assistant is already on your phone, the link comes back in the conversation as soon as it renders, and you can forward it before you get out of the car. There's nothing to install and nothing to log into between sessions.
