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.
For the Luzhniki Half Marathon, choose your 21.1 km goal based on your current fitness, even if you are aiming for a personal best. Over 16 weeks, you can focus on sustaining your chosen effort without slowing sharply towards the finish. This takes both easy mileage and carefully dosed tempo training.
In 1trAIner, the coach balances easy and intense sessions around your level and available days. Records from Garmin or Apple Watch sync automatically, and the plan is recalculated after each workout. If tempo training feels harder than expected, your next training load is adjusted.
First, a manageable intensity is determined, then the time spent at the chosen effort increases. Progress means more even splits and maintaining form by the end of a session, not a record on every run. The final weeks are devoted to refining your pacing and reducing fatigue.

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 Luzhniki Half Marathon 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.
