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.
During 12 weeks of preparation for climbing Elbrus, 5642 m, focus on endurance and the ability to keep moving uphill for long periods. Walking and strength exercises are chosen to suit your starting fitness and route. Physical preparation does not replace acclimatization or guarantee reaching the summit: discuss your ascent and acclimatization schedule with a guide in advance.
The 1trAIner AI coach takes into account your experience, available climbs or stairs, and the days when you can set aside time for a long session. Data from a Garmin or Apple Watch comes in automatically, and the plan is recalculated after each workout. Heart rate and pace help assess the training load, and your messages about fatigue help adjust it in time.
First you establish regular walking and strengthen your legs for ascents and descents. Then the plan includes more work on available terrain, if recovery allows increasing the volume. Closer to departure, the load decreases rather than turning into a test at your limit. Progress is shown by a steadier effort on a familiar climb and descents that feel easier, but not by an assumed readiness for altitude.

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 to climb Elbrus: 12 weeks of training”, but race dates can change, injuries happen, and vacations come up. The coach will adjust your training cycle to fit your new circumstances.
