Map: capture territory

Runs turn into capturing territory on the map

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 goal over 8 weeks is to make walking with poles a regular habit and focus on coordinating your arms and legs. Getting comfortable with the movement matters more than increasing distance or speed right away. Weekly volume is based on your experience and how you feel: a beginner learning to use poles needs a different load from someone who already trains regularly.

The coach in 1trAIner takes into account your level, experience with walking poles and schedule, then builds a plan. Data from a Garmin or Apple Watch syncs automatically, and the plan is recalculated after each workout. Difficulties with the movement and discomfort should be mentioned separately: pace and heart rate alone cannot reliably assess technique.

In the first weeks, the focus is on a comfortable rhythm and controlled movement, not how fast you cover the route. As you adapt, you can increase session duration while still allowing time for recovery. Progress shows in regular walks, feeling more confident with your poles and handling the load better. If fatigue affects your coordination, hold off on increasing volume.

The first 7 days are free: you try the plan and get feedback on completed sessions. Continuing costs 450 ₽ per month or 4999 ₽ per year, with no automatic charges.

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 “Walking and Nordic walking: regular workouts for 8 weeks”, but race dates can change, injuries happen, and vacations come up. The coach will adjust your training cycle to fit your new circumstances.
