For Markotkh Trail in 12 weeks you need to combine preparation for the terrain with the ability to conserve energy in open country. The distance and elevation gain are confirmed before work begins so that the load matches the chosen route. Heat and wind cannot be offset by a single reserve of speed: effort control, drinking and suitable gear matter.
The 1trAIner coach builds a plan around your experience and schedule, leaving room for recovery after climbs and descents. Data from Garmin or Apple Watch is uploaded automatically, and the plan is recalculated after every workout. Your notes about the weather help distinguish a rise in load caused by conditions from a change in fitness.
First, terrain work is dosed, then it is included in longer movement with a check of your drinking routine. Progress shows in steady effort and maintained control on descents. Before the race the load is reduced, and deliberate workouts in dangerous heat are not used as a readiness check.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a sports watch?
No. You can start without one: the plan is built from your answers about your goal, level, and available time. With a Garmin or Apple Watch, accuracy is higher — the coach sees your heart rate, sleep, and actual weekly volume.
What happens after the free week?
The subscription costs 450 ₽ per month or 4999 ₽ per year. There are no automatic charges: your card is not saved, and renewal is only manual via 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 us know in the chat. Right now the plan is built for the goal “Prepare for the Markotkh Trail race in 12 weeks”, but moving a race, an injury, or a vacation is normal: the coach will recalculate the cycle for the new conditions.
