The area on the map isn't yours yet. You run a loop around the park — and the land inside the loop becomes yours. You run through a neighbor's section — you take that too. In the runners' ranking you move up to first place.
The first 7 days are free, no card needed. No automatic charges: you renew your subscription manually.
This 16-week plan prepares you for the 21.1 km Yaroslavl Half Marathon "Golden Ring". The main goal is to turn occasional good runs into consistent fitness that holds up over the full distance. That takes regular training and gradually longer runs, rather than frequent all-out tests.
The 1trAIner coach builds a plan around your experience and schedule, separating easy days from harder sessions. Data from Garmin or Apple Watch syncs automatically, and the plan is recalculated after every workout. If you have less time available, the coach reassesses which sessions matter most rather than simply fitting them closer together.
First, you establish a consistent weekly routine, then add half marathon pace work alongside your long runs. Progress shows in steadier pacing in the second half of workouts and normal recovery afterwards. Before the race, training load is reduced and pace targets are refined using the data collected.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a sports watch?
No. You can start without one: the plan is based on your goal, level, and available time. With a Garmin or Apple Watch, the plan can be tailored more precisely — the coach can see your heart rate, sleep, and actual weekly training volume.
What happens after the free week?
The subscription costs 450 ₽ per month or 4999 ₽ per year. There are no automatic charges: your card details are not stored, and you renew manually using the link in the reminder.
Is the coach a person or a program?
1trAIner is an informational service: plans and reviews are prepared by AI based on your data. This is not a medical service and not a substitute for a doctor or an in-person coach.
What if my goal changes?
Let the coach know in the chat. Your plan is currently built around “Prepare for the Yaroslavl Half Marathon "Golden Ring" in 16 weeks”, but race dates can change, injuries happen, and vacations come up. The coach will adjust your training cycle to fit your new circumstances.
