The goal for 12 winter weeks is to keep up regular training without trying to repeat your summer pace on snow. Surface, wind and cold change the effort, so speed alone is a poor measure of a session's quality. When it's icy, it makes more sense to change your route or move indoors than to keep your mileage at any cost.

The coach in 1trAIner builds a plan around your level, schedule and access to safe routes or a treadmill. Once you connect Garmin or Apple Watch, your data syncs automatically, and the plan is recalculated after every workout. Notes on surface and weather help you interpret pace and how you feel correctly.

Week by week, the main thing assessed is how well you tolerate the load in current conditions. Intense sessions may give way to easy running or move indoors if it's unsafe outside. Progress in winter means consistent training and maintaining endurance without chasing the numbers from your summer runs.

What you get during 7 days of free access

How it works

  1. 1

    You tell us about yourself

    Your level, how many days a week you're ready to train, the race date or goal deadline. Five minutes in chat or in the questionnaire.

  2. 2

    You get a plan

    The coach builds a cycle up to your goal and gives you the week day by day: what to do, at what pace, and why this particular workout.

  3. 3

    The plan follows you

    Workouts from your watch sync automatically, and the review arrives in chat. Missed a session or got sick — the week is rebuilt.

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 “How to run in winter and stay in shape: 12 weeks of preparation”, but moving a race, an injury, or a vacation is normal: the coach will recalculate the cycle for the new conditions.
