This is the last giveaway.
I mean, the last giveaway until the annual Giveaway Extravaganza next month of course! I’ll let you read all about what that madness was like last year, but for now, we’ve got to get down to business for this giveaway!
The winner will get a $600 credit to CleverTraining.com, my most excellent partner in this giveaway crime. By supporting the site through Clever Training you also can save 10% on the vast majority of what they sell, or use their updated VIP program for anything else. If you win, you can use that credit for anything from the new Garmin FR735XT (in stock!), to a Cycliq Fly12 camera/light, this crazy foot massager thingy (really) or heck, even a chunk towards SRAM eTAP or the new CycleOps Hammer Trainer. Whatever floats your boat.
How to enter:
Simply leave a short description of what your training plans are for the weekend ahead. For those in the US, it’s a long weekend – so substituting your BBQ’ing plans for training plans is acceptable.
The reason you need a short description of ‘what’ is that if you just put a simple one word answer (i.e.5k or hot dog), you’ll likely get caught up in my SPAM filters. And nobody wants to be sandwiched between two pieces of SPAM. This is a pulled pork kinda place. Got all that?
Good luck!
The giveaway entry period will run through Monday, May 30th, 2016 until 11:59PM US Eastern Time. Winner will be selected randomly. One entry per person. The selected product/products will then be ordered immediately and shipped immediately, assuming they’re in stock.
Hopefully some swimming and biking along with the standard BBQing and enjoying the warm sunny weather!

Recover 10 seconds after last one. Then swim a 500 time trial. All out. Your average 100 pace for this is your T-time for future workouts. Then swim easy, 100 cool down. (2400m/y)
(Run) Aerobic Time Trial. Warm-up about 15 minutes raising heart rate to 10 bpm below lowest heart rate in 5a zone. Then start 5 miles/8km on track at 9-11 bpm below lowest 5a zone number. Cool down in heart rate zone 1.
Sunday:
(Ride) BT: Warm up 20-30 minutes. Then ride 2 hours steady at 25-30 beats per minute below your 5a zone (LTHR). Observe power at this effort if you have a powermeter. What was your average power for the steady state portion?

Bike intervals + run transition on Saturday
Zwift group ride on Sunday
Well, I am out of my country but still trying to train for my first flat marathon, so this weekend I will do some intervals and a long run…
Not exactly sure yet. It will certainly depend on the wind as ever here. There’s currently a sports competition in the company with a bonus sport that gives double points. This week it’s swimming, thus I might go to the pool 1-2 more times to score lots of more points. I’ll probably go for a run in a moment for another pile of points even though it is a bit more windy that I’d like. Monday is a day off here in the UK as well :) Next week’s bonus sport is table tennis. Not sure yet what to do with that.
Lake Swim followed by 5k
Long run Sunday morning
Drinking wine on Friday, recover on Saturday and flying to Greece on Sunday. No time for training now. I need more gadgets though.

In Poland we also have long weekend :)
On Monday I`m starting 10 weeks program prepared by my coach for IM 70.3 in Gdynia, Poland.
So it`s not very hard physically but challenging while trying all exercises for next weeks… E. g. its surprisingly hard to make long run with low HR (not looking at pace or distance – just time and HR matters!) :)
