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.
Over 42.2 km at the Perm Marathon, it helps to be able to change speed with the elevation while keeping the effort sustainable. In 20 weeks, the task is not only to build volume but also to prepare your legs for climbs and descents. Their share depends on your experience and the routes available to you.
The 1trAIner coach builds a plan around your current fitness and schedule, making room for hill workouts and recovery. Data from Garmin or Apple Watch syncs automatically, and the plan is recalculated after every workout. Any unusual muscle fatigue from the hills is taken into account in the following sessions.
Hills are introduced in small doses at first, then incorporated into longer runs. Progress means controlled breathing on climbs and the ability to keep running after descents without slowing sharply. Before the marathon, hard training is reduced, and your pacing strategy is based on effort rather than holding the same speed on every section.

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 Perm Marathon race in 20 weeks”, but race dates can change, injuries happen, and vacations come up. The coach will adjust your training cycle to fit your new circumstances.
