SMAN41 — a discipline and self-development platform

The only person who can change you is you. SMAN41 gives you one clear task every day: a lesson, a practice and a short report. What you do shows up honestly in your SMAN Score.

How it works

  1. Choose a direction

    Running, English or Korean. You pick the level that fits you.

  2. One task every day

    A short lesson, practice or a test, then a one- or two-sentence report. All in one flow, step by step.

  3. See your progress honestly

    Done days turn green, missed days turn red. Your SMAN Score shows your discipline as a number.

The next stages. Coming soon.

BATTLE — free

Your phone camera counts your push-ups (the video never leaves your phone). Run to capture territory on the map, challenge friends to duels and live battles. BATTLE results don't affect your SMAN Score — it's a game, not a discipline measure.

Back of the shirt: “He died. But his dreams live in my heart. I run with my Brother…”

Winter 2024. The first run of my life: 500 meters. My legs wouldn't take me any further.

I work as a scaffolder at a shipyard in Korea: up at 5:30, a full day of hard physical work, training and study in the evening.

A year and a half later I ran 103 km at the Nakdong 200 ultramarathon in Busan in 12 hours 52 minutes, without a watch, and finished 6th. In March 2026 came Victoria 162, a mountain ultra in Hong Kong: 165 km, 7,700 m of climbing, 40 hours 34 minutes.

My longest road: from Tashkent to Yakkabog — 403 km in 5 days 20 hours.

Study went the same way: alongside work I'm doing a master's at Dong-A University. IELTS 5.5 twice, then 6 on the third try. Now I'm working toward 7.

It isn't talent. It's one small step every day. I built SMAN41 to make that step easier for everyone.

I don't run alone. My younger brother passed away, but his dreams live in my heart. I run with my brother.

My plan is printed on my shirt: 2024 — 500 meters, 2025 — 100 km, 2026 — 100 miles. All three done. Next: 2027 — Badwater, 2028 — Barkley. This is my Limits Game.

Frequently asked questions

Is SMAN41 free?

Signing up and BATTLE games are free. The 60-day challenges in each direction and the SMAN Score require a payment or a grant.

I've never run before. Can I start?

Yes. The running direction is built for complete beginners: the first days are mostly walking, and running is added gradually. If you have health concerns, talk to a doctor first.

Which English level should I start with?

You choose: A1 (from zero), A2, B1 or B2. Each level takes 60 days with a lesson, vocabulary and practice every day.

What is the SMAN Score?

A score that measures your discipline: it counts whether you completed each day's task on time. It isn't for ranking — it's for being honest with yourself.

Is my data safe?

Yes. GPS points never leave your phone and push-up video isn't stored. You can delete your account at any time from the in-app menu.

Who created SMAN41?

Sokhib Aliev, an Uzbek ultrarunner who works at a shipyard in Korea.
